To a heated pot, add olive oil, onion, celery and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fry on medium heat until the celery and onions are soft (about 4 to 5 mins). Add garlic and chili flakes and fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add sliced bell peppers and fry for another 2 minutes or so. Then add the tomato puree. Mix well and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
Uncover and increase the heat to medium or medium-high (depending on the type of stove being used). Cook the peppers until all the liquid has evaporated and the sauce turns thick. Turn off the heat. Let it slightly cool down. Serve with pita or Italian bread of choice.

Hello Friends! 😊 Sorry I missed you last week. I really hope you enjoy these recipes. As always there is a detailed written recipe in the description box of this video.

[@linzertube]

These Italian-inspired meals look delicious! I have everything in my fridge and pantry, ready to go. Thanks for the inspiration…I’m ready for some Mediterranean food.😊

[@rosiedolciamore]

You're one of my favorite content creators thank you with all my heart for your elegant and helpful videos 💛

[@davidschildt6847]

Any chance you could one day do some recipes without using onions ….. ?🙂

[@TheRedPandaTales]

You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.

[@YtubeUser-]

Glad i found a vegan channel like yours, thank you for always inspiring us 🌱

[@user-in9bb4by9s]

Its not only inspiration to cook, its so relaxing and cosy to watch ❤

[@HeronCoyote1234]

This answers the question “ok, it looks nice, but what do I do with it” beautifully! Thank you.

[@amymartin5753]

It looks heavenly and delicious- I regularly use colorful bell peppers and onions in my batch cooking -meal prep and food plan

[@ginafriend1690]

Beautiful veggies, recipes, all!🙌! You are one beautiful soul, my dear❤ Thank you kindly, and have a wonderful week! 🤗

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you Gina and so are you. Thanks for always being there for me ❤️

[@dianeladico1769]

Thank you for a delicious and versatile recipe. I think this would work beautifully for so many things. I've added Southwestern seasoned tofu for fajitas, added zucchini or eggplant for a caponata-style dish, added white beans and small pasta for a dressier pasta fazool, or carrots and mushrooms for a cacciatore-style dish (I do a lot of not strictly traditional combos, apologies to purists). While it's Italian style it translates easily to many other cuisines with minor changes. This is well worth making a large batch and freezing in portions, especially now that peppers are in season. This will certainly elevate any recipe. Thanks again! Love your channel and videos so much.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Hi Diane, so glad you like this recipe. Those are some awesome meal combos you suggested 😊

[@ChantaltheFrency]

Oh very nice❤

[@FoodImpromptu]

Thank you Chantal! ❤️

[@ChantaltheFrency]

@@FoodImpromptu yes thank you i just made the pasta recepi for dinner and it was very nice. the only thing i added was some pre cooked cherry tomatoes to have a little more liquid/sauce.

[@FoodImpromptu]

@@ChantaltheFrency Thanks Chantal, glad you liked it. Just wanted to quickly mention that the quantity of tomato paste mentioned was incorrect, it’s actually suppose to be 3 tablespoons. But you did good by adding the cooked cherry tomatoes. Sorry about that :)

[@ChantaltheFrency]

@@FoodImpromptu 😉 i was fine by me but my husband always likes the extra sauce.

[@nabahatskitchen3566]

Thanks for sharing delicious recipes 👌👌

[@Foodcorner12348]

[@gm3801]

Those peppers would pair really well with a steak.

[@irinavip9769]

Can you show us how you make pizza dough please? Do you add yeast or make it with sourdough? Would you really like your sourdough recipe? Thanks in advance ❤❤❤

[@BXMurphy]

Man, you keep this stuff up and you'll be monetizing. Check out Food Wishes bought by Allrecipes. Great camera work and editing. Sound is spot on. Hypnotizing music... Eye-candy girl... ye got it all! I'm so freakin' hungry. I can so throw this together right now in under a half-hour. Boom!

[@yolandaredondorey4073]

Si pudieras traducirlo🙏🇪🇸😆

[@mollyn.1635]

Do you have any recipes with red cabbage? I love it along with onions and other vegetables, but I don’t have a recipe for that. Thanks so much.

[@FoodImpromptu]

Hi Molly! My mom makes this sweet and sour red cabbage which is pretty good. I will try my best to incorporate it in one of my future videos 😊

[@Val-13013]

🧡🧡🧡

[@joygoncalves4917]

Great Recipes. Never before asked BUT for me & others who dont like spicy. What spices can sub that are tasty?

[@FoodImpromptu]

If you don’t like spicy you can skip the chili flakes :)

[@ByHerGrace22]

Can you suggest a low carb substitute for rice or bread or chapati

[@bishopcyrildemba1557]

Could you tell me 1 cup measure is how much. Thnks

[@andrealeticiasalazarargume295]

Cómo adquieres en estas recetas la proteína?

[@catboy721]

Hi. Love the variants but aren’t the peppers basically cooked to mush? And two of the variants cook them again. Any way to retain some of the crunch and nutrition in these recipes? Thx.

[@FoodImpromptu]

The peppers are cooked soft but not mushy. These are stewed peppers so they are not suppose to be crunchy but you can cook it to your liking.
