Slice four onions in half moons and chop the garlic.

Cut the bell peppers, removing the white parts and seeds.

Make an X at the end of each tomato, pour boiling water over them in a colander to easily peel the skin off, or use fresh ripe tomatoes, remove the core, and cut an X on the bottom.

In a large pan, add olive oil, onions, and garlic; allow the tomatoes to sweat on top for about 5 minutes.

Peel the tomatoes and return them to the pan; do not chop or dice them, and do not discard the seeds.

Add salt and mix everything with a wooden spoon, cutting the tomatoes in half to release their juices.

Allow the liquid to reduce, then top with julienne peppers.

Serve the dish with boiled potatoes as a vegan option.
