Side Dish of Sweet Peppers

Here is a side dish that my mom used to make all the time. This dish goes with just about anything, red meat, chicken, or fish. Sometimes I just shovel a bushel of it on some thick Italian bread perhaps a sliced Cibatta and away I go. Generally called a peperonata - add some cubed eggplant and you can call it a ratatouillie.
This particular dish is just sweet red and green peppers with sliced garlic and onions stir fried in some extra virgin olive oil. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. I threw in some extra basil. You can also add yellow peppers to make it more colorful but the red, green, and white are the "tricolore" of the Italian flag so I made it for "per la patria!"  
Grazie for the look-see.
