Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 red bell peppers
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar -- firmly packed
1 teaspoon salt -- kosher
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons parsley -- chopped, flat leaf
Wash peppers and dry throughly with paper towels.
Halve lengthwise, seed them, cut each half into thirds and
remove the inner ribs.
Toss pepper slices in a 12" skillet with the vinegar, brown sugar and salt. Cook at the barest, simmer until they
have softened but still retain their shape - 10-12 minutes.
Remove with slotted spoon to a serving dish, leaving
the cooking juices in the pan.
Increase the heat in the skillet and let the juices reduce almost to a syrup for several minutes, scraping up any bits adhering to
the pan. Stir in the olive oil, thyme leaves and parsley, heating up just to warm the oil.
Pour over the peppers; while they are cooling and marinating, a half hour or more, they will soften and absorb the flavor.
Serve at room temperature.
Refrigerate leftovers in screw top jar where they will keep for several days.
