Peperonata is wonderful served with chicken, pork and lamb, beside a fat slice of frittata, topped with a frilly-edged fried egg, eked out with boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs or chickpeas.
I like peperonata stirred into pasta or as part of a sandwich or tart.
It keeps for days in the fridge if you put it in a jar and top it with a layer of olive oil, which is why I often make double.
