I adapted this from Michael Chiarello's cookbook -
Michael Chiarello's Napa. I saw him make this recipe
on PBS.

He used green bell peppers and green jalapenos. I used
red bell peppers I bought at the flea market yesterday
and some ripe chile peppers that I got at Bowers
(Black Czech, Dagger Pod) and from my own garden
(Stripe Peppers, Fish peppers). This came out really
good.

I can't wait to eat it on hoagie sandwiches and as a
side dish.

--------  ------------ 
--------------------------------
     1/4  cup           extra-virgin olive oil
   4                    red bell peppers -- halve,
seed & chop
     1/2  lb            ripe chile peppers -- * see
note
                        Maldon salt -- or coarse salt
   1      14 oz can     diced tomatoes -- drained
                        fresh basil leaves
     1/8  cup           red wine vinegar

Preheat a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil and
let it heat up, but do not let it smoke. Add the
peppers, chiles and salt. Cook over medium-high heat
for 20 minutes or until they have softened and are a
bit tender. There will still be some liquid remaining.

Add the tomatoes and basil. Lower the heat and
continue to cook for 30 minutes, until the peppers are
very tender. Add additional salt if necessary. Remove
from heat.

Add vinegar and store in refrigerator for up to 4
days.

If canning, add vinegar, place in canning jars, and
process according to manufacturers' instructions.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used ripe black czech peppers, which look like
jalapenos a bit. Have similar heat too, but different
flavor. Use ripe jalapenos if that is all you can
find.
