If you’ve never had peperonata, you’re in for a treat. This is a classic southern Italian dish, found especially in and around Calabria. Recipes vary, of course, but it is typically made of red bell peppers slowly cooked in tomato, garlic, onion and, of course, lots of olive oil.
This version, from Spillimacheen, B.C.’s Beeland Market, is smoother than some versions because it’s designed to be served as a pasta sauce. It is slightly different from traditional recipes, too, featuring butter, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, herbs and Beeland’s fine B.C. honey.
Beeland Market makes a range of jams, sauces and salsas, including another Italian classic, Caponata alla Siciliana and Giardiniera, pickled Italian-style vegetables with fennel seeds and white wine.
