2. Add the peppersto the onions and fry for 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and puree, the basil and seasoning. Cook gently for a further 10 minutes until the peppers are soft.

I didn't love it, but I did like it and it was simple so I wil have it again sometime. Adam doesn't like eggs so he didn't eat any, just me. I took the rest to work for lunches. :o)
