Piquant peppers

These vibrant piquant peppers are a versatile vegan side dish that celebrates the natural sweetness of Mediterranean vegetables. By slow-cooking a colourful mix of red, yellow, and orange peppers in olive oil, they develop a wonderfully soft texture that carries the bold flavours of the dressing. The addition of red wine vinegar and sugar creates a balanced agrodolce effect, resulting in a glossy, syrupy sauce that coats every strip.

This simple vegetable dish is perfect for summer entertaining or as part of a classic antipasti spread. It can be prepared in advance, as the flavours continue to develop when left to sit. Serve these tangy peppers alongside crusty sourdough bread, toss them through a fresh grain salad, or use them to add a punch of acidity to a savoury plant-based main course.
