1.
Heat the oil and slowly fry the peppers and onions until golden. Scatter over the sugar and allow to caramelise slightly. Stir in the chilli and fry briefly then deglaze with the orange juice. Stir in the tomatoes, orange zest and pieces and braise for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Cover and put to one side.
