Sweet pepper stew

Among the traditional Italian dishes which are just right to enjoy with the arrival of summer, today we suggest a dish to which we have given a new twist reflecting our own tastes, resulting in something even more inviting, full of colour, taste and aroma: of course, we're talking about sweet pepper stew, or ‘peperonata’. Unlike the classic recipe prepared by our mothers and grandmothers in the traditional way, however, our sweet peppers are crisp, as well as colourful and cheerful, obviously with a lovely aroma, for when you eat well you must satisfy all five senses. So say goodbye forever to that horrible orange muck that you see on the counters of takeaways or supermarkets, and make room instead for the lovely revitalised pepper stew which has been made with modern taste in mind. Our sweet pepper stew is modern and appetizing, homemade with fresh and wholesome ingredients, easy to make and quick to cook: are you ready to win over even the most sceptical of diners?
