To serve (optional):

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the bell peppers and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add garlic cloves and cook for 2 more minutes. 
  2. Transfer and set aside on a plate.
