Peppers & Onions Recipe
Buttery Sautéed Peppers & Onions are the perfect accompaniment to any dinnertime menu and they cook up in just minutes! An easy side dish that is both delicious and bursting with beautiful colors, these caramelized peppers and onions will be the perfect addition to many meals. Bell peppers, a member of the night shade family of plants, contain an impressive amount of vitamin C, along with vitamins A and K, thiamin, niacin, folate, copper and magnesium. Red, orange and yellow bell peppers are much sweeter than green bell peppers which tend to be bitter, so I used only the sweeter bell peppers for this fabulously delicious side dish. Sauteed in a combination of olive oil and butter and finished off with a bit more butter, you’ll love having this recipe in your menu lineup.
