A colorful mix of bell peppers gets a bang of flavor from red wine vinegar, tempered by a touch of sugar and salt. These quick-fix peppers require no roasting and peeling. Just simply slice them up and sauté. Serve these alongside our Easter menu's pork loin roast for a bright contrast of flavors that stand up to the hearty main dish.
