It doesn't look dangerous as it sounds

- it is simple side dish prepare with fresh tomatoes and peppers - ideal for light menus, summer time...

You'll be needing following:
1 pound of fresh tomatoes(it's about 1/2 kilograms)
1 pound of fresh peppers (green, yellow or red)
1 big onion
salt, paper, oil (it's very aromatic if you use mixture of sunflower and olive oil)
and one little spoon of sugar

Preparation:
Boil some water and put in it tomatoes shortly, just to able to pill off their foreskin. Chop onion and fry it for a short on oil. Chop peppers into little pieces and put it on fried onion, and after that add one spoon of sugar (when you cook tomatoes it's useful to put sugar because it reduces the sourness of tomatoes). When peppers soften a bit, add chopped tomatoes and stew it until fluid disappears. Salt and paper near the end of cooking and boun appetite.

This recipe may vary if you add egg-plant before mixing tomatoes (clean egg-plant and chop it in little pieces - salt it and left egg-plant "rest" for a while so you could squeeze their bitterness and then mixed them in)

This sounds like a great base for other dishes-- a lot like the tomato sofrito they make here it Spain (but without garlic). Very nice!

I must say sofrito looks very tempting

(after quick research). I guess all countries lying on sea side or coast have similar ways in cooking. I saw that sofrito contains lots of garlic, so I think I must try that recipe

(although my significant other isn't in good relation with garlic

)
