Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 teaspoons peeled and slivered garlic
8 to 12 piquillo peppers, cut into strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Sherry vinegar (optional)

Steps:

Place olive oil in a large skillet, turn heat to medium-low, and add garlic. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until garlic turns light brown, about 5 minutes.
Add peppers, and turn heat to medium. Cook, shaking pan, until peppers just begin to change color on bottom; turn, and repeat. Season to taste, and serve hot or at room temperature, drizzled, if you like, with a little more olive oil and sherry vinegar.
