Peppers Provencal

1/4 cup best-quality olive oil

2 tablespoons sweet butter

2 cups yellow onions, thinly sliced

2 red sweet bell peppers, sliced into very thin strips

1/4 tsp herbes de Provence

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1/4 cup finely shredded fresh basil leaves

Heat oil and butter together in a heavy skillet until butter is

melted. Add the onion and peppers; season with herbes de Provence and

salt and pepper to taste. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 45

minutes, or until vegetables are limp, tender, and lightly browned.

Peppers Provencal should have a marmalade-like appearance. Add garlic

and basil and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and

let cool to room temperature. Drain excess oil (if you want to!

---) Serve at room temperature. Makes 2 cups.
