Italian style peppers recipe

This is a kind of vegetable stew, not unlike Ratatouille but made simply with peppers and tomatoes. It makes a colourful vegetable accompaniment to most grilled or roast meats, particularly if both red and green peppers are used. It can also be served chilled as a starter.
