Fried Italian Sweet Peppers

Fried Italian Sweet Peppers are the perfect, delicious accompaniment to so many things–Italian sausage, scrambled eggs, bruschetta, pasta, or, quite honestly, any fork headed directly to my mouth.

Seriously, though, it is not summer without them. If you see them at the market, buy them, fry them, enjoy them, repeat.
