Author Notes: This is a very easy and tasty recipes for those who love bell peppers. It is a typical recipe from Puglia Southern Italy. Because of the sweet (sugar) and sour (wine vinegar) combination, it shows the Arabic influence in the local cuisine. It is perfect as a side dish, if you are having meat or seafood. I also like to have it with basmati rice. —puglia4foodies
