If you're not familiar with "real Italian" food as he calls it, it's a mosaic of simple flavours that always embrace the best the season has to offer. Where he's from (Puglia), olives, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, eggplants, and fennel are grown and eaten with gusto. However, you're not going to find eggplant parmigana on spaghetti anywhere in Italy - and historically the tomatoes and peppers that are so completely a part of the now traditional diet didn't exist. Those, along with the potatoes, zucchini and corn, came from the "New World" - right back in my backyard! I love how cuisine of any sort intertwines regions, cultures, tastes and hearts. We all eat, and as ingredients circle the globe so do celebrations and trends!
So, whether you are celebrating the Fourth of July with the US, June's Republic Day in Italy, the French Bastille Day on the 14th of July or Canada Day with me today, celebrate with your loved ones and don't forget to share a #SundaySupper or two!

My recipe after the jump!
This "Italian salsa" is filled with all sorts of vegetables from our backyard garden and can be canned or kept in the fridge for the next BBQ. It is spicy, so use the peppers with caution!
Makes enough for 16 sandwiches
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cubanelle peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
2 Hungarian Wax peppers, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
1 (28-oz) can no-salt-added whole tomatoes
3 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
- Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the peppers and saute until they begin to soften and break down, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper flakes, onion and garlic powders and basil.
- Cover and cook 10 minutes.
- Uncover and break up the tomatoes with a spoon, cook 2-3 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Add seasoning to taste.
