Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, (peeled and sliced into ¼-inch (6-mm) strips)
4 bell peppers (stemmed, seeded and cut into ¼-inch (6-mm) strips)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme (finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme))

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and the peppers are tender and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. If a brown coating forms on the bottom of the pan during the cooking process, add a few tablespoons of water and stir; repeat as necessary.
Add balsamic vinegar and thyme and turn the heat down to low. Cook for a few more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature.
