Spicy Pepper and Onion

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) package assorted sliced mushrooms, or to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3 pinches cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons water, or as needed

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté bell pepper and sweet onion in hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir mushrooms and garlic into the pepper mixture; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Stir Worcestershire sauce, parsley, ketchup, basil, turmeric, red pepper flakes, cumin, and cayenne pepper into the pepper mixture.
3. Place cover on the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until mixture thickens, 20 to 30 minutes. If mixture is too dry, add water and stir.
