Bell Pepper Sauté

 I needed a quick side dish to serve with Roasted Chicken With Goat Cheese and Herbs and Risotto. The other important consideration: the ingredients had to be in the fridge. So this sauté was born. Many people do not like bell peppers, but if you do, definitely try this dish. Sautéing them in a little olive oil with some thinly sliced red onion caramelizes the pepper and makes them very sweet. This comes together in a snap. Enjoy!
