Peperonata
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large, sweet bell peppers of various colors (preferably not including green), stemmed, seeded and sliced thin
- 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- red-pepper flakes, to taste
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a large pan set over high heat until it is nearly smoking.
- Add, in batches, the peppers and onion, and cook, tossing often, until the peppers have softened but have not yet gone slack in the heat.
- Remove each batch to a large bowl.
- When you are done with the peppers and onions, return the pan to the stove and set over high heat.
- Add remaining olive oil, allow to get hot, then add the capers.
- Cook until fragrant and almost crisp, then add the mixture to the bowl of peppers and onions.
- Turn the flame off under the pan and add the vinegar, allowing it to reduce in the dying heat to about half its volume, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Scrape the vinegar over the peppers, add oregano and redpepper flakes, then toss well to combine.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve near or on top of grilled brats.
