Spicy Peperonata
This spicy peperonata is our take on a rustic Southern Italian dish that is incredibly versatile. The Italian South is filled with sweet bell peppers during the summer, and what better way to celebrate such produce than in a flavoursome peperonata with a hint of chilli heat. Serve as a summer antipasto or as a side to meat or fish.
