Stuffed Pepper Sauce Ingredients

Method

Stuffed Pepper Sauce Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Stir in the minced garlic, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peppers are tender.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the tomato paste. Stir well to combine. Then, add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm over stuffed peppers or any dish of your choice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
