Giovanni Siracusa: Peperonata

Jul 11, 2026 | The Southern Italian way to make potatoes and peppers. This is a rustic Italian recipe called peperonata, made with sweet peppers, potatoes, and an agrodolce (sweet-and-sour) sauce.

I filmed this while traveling through Southern Italy, where this style of peperonata is still made at home.

Peperonata usually just means peppers and onions, but this version from Southern Italy also includes potatoes and a sweet-and-sour agrodolce sauce.

This is a simple, budget-friendly recipe that works as a side dish, a topping for crusty bread, tossed with pasta, or served alongside grilled meat or fish.

If you're looking for an authentic Southern Italian recipe that celebrates fresh summer vegetables, this one is hard to beat.
