Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Red bell peppers
- 2 large Yellow bell peppers
- 2 large Green bell peppers
- 2 large Orange bell peppers
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and pat dry all the bell peppers. Slice each one into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stems.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into long strips.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Toss in the sliced bell peppers and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bell peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm as a vegetarian main with rice, quinoa, or bread, or use as a side dish for grilled meats or tofu.
