2 tsp

Ciabatta bread

320 g, 8 sliced cut into 1 cm thick slices

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add capsicum and tomato. Toss to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for a further 5 minutes or until thickened.

Notes

TIP: You can make pepperonata five days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving. Pepperonata is delicious served with grilled meats and fish.
