Ingredients for 4 servings

10 mild green peppers, cut lengthwise
2 large onions, thinly sliced
6 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced very finely
2 bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
Olive oil
Thyme
Bay leaf
Salt
Pepper
Sugar
6 eggs
Espelette pepper

Step-by-step directions

1 Gently sauté the onions in a little olive oil. Add the peppers and bell peppers.

2 Stir frequently and cover to accelerate cooking.

3 When the onions turn golden, add the tomatoes, garlic and herbs.

4 Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of Espelette pepper. Add a pinch of sugar, as tomatoes are acidic. Cover.

5 After about 30 minutes of cooking, beat the eggs as for an omelette and fold them into the piperade. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes while stirring gently with a wooden spoon.

6 Serve this piperade accompanied by slices of Bayonne ham, lightly rind-removed and pan-fried.
