A Simple Lunch Roman Style

Amazingly simple lunch and we are experiencing it in summer Roman Style ...
As we are heading into Roma city tonight to go out on the town we are having a simple light Roman lunch and Danielle shows us how it is done.

1st Friggitelli (fridge a telly) which is a member of pepper family
Green peppers ones between 50 to 100 mm in length top peppers squeezes to remove the excess seeds cut larger ones lengths ways.
In a pan warm extra virgin olive oil.
Wash peppers, pot in warm pan and sweat down with lid on for 10 to 15 mins.
Stirring occasionally

Alternative option is to fill with tuna for a protein lunch, actually I recon you could fill them with loads of different filings.

2nd Sweet and Sour Onions
2 Red mid size onions cut into rings not to thin
Break apart to make rings and rip into pieces
In a slow pan camarlising lightly with 1 teaspoon sugar + salt to taste, cook with lid on 10 to 15 mins when cooked and soft not brown sprinkle with 1 desert spoon apple vinegar

Serve together on lightly toasted French baguette with a spot of salt, so yum, so sweet, so easy, and so light. Great lunch option as Italian eat so much so how do they maintain their figures.

Optional finish with some mountain grappa and then siesta for a couple of hours,
oh so Italian on a hot summer holiday.
