Recipe - Bell Peppers Caramelized

1 lg Red bell pepper
1 lg Green bell pepper
1 lg Yellow pepper
3 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Sugar
One fourth cup Dry white wine
Salt and pepper to taste

(from the Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian)

Serves 4 as an antipasto with bread.

"This appears so simple that you cannot believe it will really make a
change in your Italian kitchen. Trust us. The caramelizing of the peppers
really toasts the sugar in them, and the result is delicious, just
delicious."

Core and cut the peppers into one inch wide strips. Heat a large frying
pan and add the olive oil and the peppers. Saute over mediumlow heat,
covered, for 20 minutes. Toss the peppers often while cooking. Sprinkle the
peppers with the sugar and add the wine. Continue to saute, covered 5
minutes more until the peppers are very tender and caramelized. The peppers
should look very brown but not burned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
