**Red Pepper**

**Ingredients:**

– 3 large red bell peppers
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Wash the red bell peppers, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and white membranes, and place the pepper halves on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up.

3. Roast the peppers in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the skins are charred and blistered. This process will help intensify the sweetness of the peppers. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

4. While the peppers are cooling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.

5. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skins and chop the roasted peppers into strips. Add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic.

6. Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Allow the flavors to meld together over medium heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture, leaving some chunks for texture.

8. Serve the Red Pepper hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or as a side to your favorite protein.
