"This is from "The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas". I haven't made this one but it sounds good and beautiful! A quote: "This not only looks like Christmas but it tastes like Christmas! Do not overcook the peppers.""

Fabulous way to make peppers - I also have the Frugal Goourmet's Cookbook and have made this a couple of times. I really enjoyed these - they went great on the side with Mikekey's Fiery Pork Loin and Redneck Epicurean's 440 Main's Jambalaya as nice garnish!! Yummy - thanks for posting!

Very Very pretty! I did cut the oil in half as suggested by one of the reviewers and I used fresh herbs. I will be making this one again. Great Veggie Dish!

I mostly halved the recipe but only used 1 Tbs oil and used 2 garlic cloves. I did use a small whole yellow onion. I also added some sliced mushrooms. You can hardly go wrong with sauteed onions and peppers and I liked the seasonings, especially the rosemary. A quick, easy, yummy vegetable side that would go well with many different entrees.

Beautiful and loved the seasoning as written. Should have read Rita L's review and used white wine-the red discolors the peppers.

Healthy good for you side! I used 1/2 the oil, twice the garlic, 1 large sweet onion, 1 tablespoon each fresh rosemary and oregano and used white wine. Thanks!
