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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the mixture and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
