 I was looking for a bell pepper side dish, and mixed two recipes to make this Bell Pepper and Kale Puttanesca Stir Fry,

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
• 1 bell pepper, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
• 2 or 3 plum tomatoes, quartered then squeezed gently to release some juices
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed (or 1/2 teaspoon granulated)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes pepper
• 1/2 cup green olives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 bunch kale, de-stemmed and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
• Fresh basil leaves and crusty bread, for serving
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onions, and cook for about 2 minutes.
3. Add the bell peppers and tomatoes, cooking and stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the peppers soften.
4. Stir in the garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, olives, capers, and balsamic vinegar. Add in the kale, cook while stirring for 2 to 3 minutes or until the kale wilts.
5. As needed, season with salt and pepper as needed.
