Chop onion finely, slice garlic and cut peppers into strips or dice, as preferred.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions, salt and pepper lightly, and saute 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and peppers, cook 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and herbs (save a few bits of herbs for garnish, if desired), cover and simmer until peppers are very soft; 15 - 20 minutes. Remove lid, raise heat and cook until any excess liquid has evaporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
