PIPERADE (SAUTE OF PEPPERS, ONIONS AND TOMATOES)
REGIONAL inspirations and influences have always had their place on French menus, but with an increased interest in vegetables, country dishes such as piperade - a vegetable dish from the Basque region of France - are showing up in various guises. While the classic piperade often appears with scrambled eggs and country ham, Alain Dutournier of Au Trou Gascon of Paris recently served a more elegant molded version as a vegetable side dish to rabbit. The rabbit was sauteed and covered with thin slices of spicy- hot green peppers. Other regional vegetable inspirations recently appearing on Paris menus include cold Proven,cale ratatouille (a blend of tomatoes, eggplant, onions and zucchini) topped with a poached egg (served at Taillevent), and a Ni,coise tapenade (a blend of olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil) spread over roasted porgy fillets (at La Cantine des Gourmets).

Steps:
- Preheat broiler with broiler rack about 2 inches from heat. Broil peppers for 10 minutes, turning as skins blister and blacken. Remove peppers. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel and seed, discarding skins and seeds. Cut peppers into thin strips.
- In large skillet, using no butter or oil, combine peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic and herbs and cook, covered, over very low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Mixture should be quite thick.
- Piperade can be made ahead and put into 4 half-cup ramekins or molds. To reheat, place in boiling water bath and cook on top of stove until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

PEPPERS ROASTED WITH GARLIC, BASIL AND TOMATOES
This is a bright, beautiful, and very simple vegetarian dish. The secret of the sophisticated flavor is in the herb vinegar. I like to use white vinegar flavored with sprigs of tarragon.

Tips
- Use fresh, ripe peppers and tomatoes: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Look for peppers that are firm and brightly colored, and tomatoes that are ripe and juicy.
- Cut the peppers and tomatoes into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using different types of peppers, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the peppers and tomatoes will steam instead of sautéing. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the peppers and tomatoes plenty of room to cook. A 12-inch skillet or wok is a good size.
- Cook the peppers and tomatoes over high heat: This will help them caramelize and develop flavor. Be sure to stir them frequently so that they cook evenly.
- Season the peppers and tomatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Garnish the peppers and tomatoes with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Chopped parsley, cilantro, or basil are all good options.
Conclusion
Sautéed peppers and tomatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. They are also a great way to use up leftover peppers and tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy!
