    1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
    1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
    1 medium yellow onion sliced
    6 cloves garlic minced
    3 medium tomatoes chopped (peeled, if desired – for canned, use 15 ounce canned diced)
    1 tablespoon piment d’Espelette use paprika as a substitute
    1 teaspoon sugar optional
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 bay leaf
    Salt and black pepper to taste
