Ingredients

  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Start by prepping your ingredients. Remove the stem and seeds from the red bell peppers and slice them into thin strips. Thinly slice the onion as well.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the onion slices and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to become translucent.
  3. Next, add the red bell pepper strips to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers have softened.
  4. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the peppers and onions and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. The sugar will help caramelize the vegetables and enhance their flavor.
  5. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
  6. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the peppers and onions are caramelized to your liking. The peppers should be tender and slightly charred.
  7. Remove from heat and let the caramelized peppers and onions cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold.
  8. Serve as a side dish or use as a topping for sandwiches, grilled meats, or salads. This recipe is incredibly versatile and will add a burst of flavor to any meal!
