Onions and green peppers in this fashion are great as a topping for
hot sandwiches such as fajitas, sausage sandwiches, beef sandwiches.
You've ruined the cooking of them by covering and simmering. This is
not needed. Get the pan hot, add the fat until sizzles or shimmers
and then add onions first for just a bit and then the green peppers,.
Stir constantly until wilted. Serve. These vegetables will look
better, taste better and probably retain more nutrients with the quick
cook, stir fry method. The veggies will continue to cook out of the
pan until they cool.
