Blink Of An Eye Bell Pepper Saute - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large bell peppers (red, yellow or orange, green not recommended.)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small red onion, sliced into crescents
1 garlic clove, minced (my addition, can omit)
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Remove stems from peppers. Halve the bell peppers crosswise then cut into 1/2\" strips.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add bell peppers and saute for about 2-3 minutes. Then add the red onion crescents (and garlic if using) and saute another 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
You want the bell peppers to be slightly softened but still firm. Does that make sense?.
Season with salt and pepper and transfer to serving platter. Great as a side dish or served over pasta or rice.
