2 yellow bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil

This dish is quick to prepare, but you can reduce the time even more by cutting the vegetables a day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container, and proceed when the rest of the meal is almost ready.

I used a regular tomato chopped up instead and didn't measure any of the ingredients. It was very good, quick and easy, I'll definitely be making this again.

My family looooved this recipe. I also added onions, a bit of dried thyme, and red pepper for added flavor. It's an easy recipe but very fulfilling for dinner.

This recipe is easy, fast, and anything but boring. I used plum, not grape, tomatoes and substituted seasoning -- McCormick's Italian Herb Grinder was perfect here -- for the pepper. A side dish enthusiastically received.
