Wash the red, yellow and green peppers. Cut the peppers in half and discard the seeds. Slice into long strips. Peel the white and red onions and slice into half moons.
Peel the 2 cloves of garlic and chop them as finely as possible. You can use a garlic press if that's more convenient.
Add 1 teaspoon chilli flakes along with 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons dried oregano to the mortar. Grind the herbs to a fine powder.
Heat a dash of olive oil in a deep frying pan, then add the sliced peppers. Fry over low to medium heat, you don't need to toast the peppers. After a few minutes, add the onions.
Add the spice mixture to the pan and stir well. Stir the peppers occasionally for around 15 minutes, or until the onion has caramelised and the peppers are tender.
Add a dash of red wine vinegar and the finely chopped garlic. Cook this for another 2 - 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. Enjoy your meal!
Why is the garlic only added at the last minute?
The garlic adds a lot of welcome flavour, but not when it burns. Adding the garlic last will prevent this from happening.
What can I do if I don't have a non-stick pan?
If you do not have a pan with a good non-stick coating, it is best to add more olive oil. This prevents the vegetables from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
How should I serve this sautéed pepper salad?
Serve it immediately, or at room temperature. You can also make the salad a day in advance and reheat it quickly. Serve the sautéed pepper salad as a side dish to, for example, Mexican enchiladas.
