I have been eating peppers and tomatoes all my life. My Neapolitan Grandmother cooked them and put them up in canning jars. I learned from her. There is nothing better than this dish Simply stack them up on bread or a roll and its lunch! I stack them up like a Dagwood sandwich - 3 slices of bread. The only difference with this recipe and mine would be 1 large chopped clove of garlic.
What do you suggest we do with this sauce? Pasta?
