For a richer flavor, consider using roasted bell peppers instead of raw. You can roast them yourself or use jarred roasted peppers. Peperonata is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It's also wonderful as a topping for grilled bread or as a side dish with roasted meats. Feel free to add other vegetables to your Peperonata, such as zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat if desired. Store leftover Peperonata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
