Peppers with Olives and Cherry Tomatoes

Peppers with olives and cherry tomatoes are a very tasty and quick side dish to prepare. This dish is perfect to accompany a meat main course or even served cold as an appetizer, with a nice slice of toasted bread.

It is simply prepared by cutting the peppers into pieces and cooking them in a pan. To make it colorful, I recommend using peppers and cherry tomatoes of different colors: you can do as I did, or use classic red cherry tomatoes together with yellow peppers.
