Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 medium bell peppers (various colors), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives

Method

  • In a large skillet, dry-roast the pine nuts over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until theyre just fragrant, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from the skillet so they dont burn.
  • Pour the oil into the same skillet, swirling to coat the bottom.
  • Increase the heat to high.
  • Cook the bell peppers, onion, and garlic for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the desired texture, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the pepper and salt.
  • Serve sprinkled with the olives and pine nuts.
  • If you prefer, you can use chopped pecans instead of the pine nuts and/or substitute other good-quality black olives or stuffed green olives for the kalamata olives.
  • A heavy skillet heats more evenly and cooks food more quickly than thinner skillets, which tend to burn in some areas while undercooking in others.
