In some regions, this dish is made only with tomatoes and peppers, omitting the onions and garlic. Some versions use butter. Famous as a bachelor or student favorite, it is eaten at all meals as a main or a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Mature Harvest olive oil
  • 1 3/4 cup medium onion, finely sliced

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups tomatoes, finely sliced
