How to Make - Onions and Bell Peppers for Fajitas

Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
Complexity: easily
Servings: 8

The two main components of a Mexican fajita, besides meat, are bell peppers and onions, the latter of which should be finely chopped and visible. This spicy vegetable filling is prepared separately from the grilled meat, allowing you to choose between a meaty or vegetarian version.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:

2 medium yellow onions, sliced lengthwise into 1cm-thick pieces (if using as a side dish with meat), or cut into 12 wedges, pinched at the base to hold the wedges together (if using as the main filling for fajitas)
2 tsp olive oil
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 bell peppers (red, yellow and orange), cut into 2cm wide strips.
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
Special equipment: 4-liter slow cooker.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Place the onions in the bottom of the slow cooker and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with cumin, smoked and sweet paprika, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and toss to coat the onions evenly. Arrange the sliced peppers on top of the onions. Sprinkle the peppers with minced garlic, the remaining salt, and olive oil, tossing gently to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 2–4 hours (for crispier vegetables) or 4–6 hours (for softer vegetables), stirring once about an hour before the end of cooking. Alternatively, cook on high for 1–2 hours (for crispier vegetables) or 2–3 hours (for softer vegetables). Add lime juice just before serving.
