Peperonato is a traditional Italian dish made from peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms. This stew-like dish is typically served as a main course and is very popular in southern Italy. The vegetables are slowly cooked in white wine and olive oil, which help to bring out their natural flavors and create a deliciously thick and tangy sauce. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and the best part is that you can easily modify the recipe to include your favorite vegetables.
