Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (seeds and membrane removed finely chopped)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

Tabasco sauce (to taste)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, pepper and celery.
