Stir occasionally, then lower the heat to finish cooking to your desired texture. Add a touch of garlic at the end of cooking and a splash of cider vinegar before serving.

Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a meaty pepper retains more structure. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having firm bites alongside overcooked parts.
