This is a classic recipe from La Mancha, found in various forms in many regions of Spain.

This side dish pairs well with fish and meat, particularly fatty meats such as pork or duck.

1. Wash the peppers; blanch them or roast them over a flame so that you can peel them easily. 
2. Remove the seeds, cut into strips and place into a heavy pot with the sugar, salt, thyme and oil. 
3. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours. Remove from the heat and cool.

Since this is a side dish, pair the wine to the main course: with red meat, a Crianza from Campo de Borja, and with fish, a Gewurztraminer from Bierzo.
