Add onion to same skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, adding a little water if onion starts to brown too much. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook, covered, 2 to 3 minutes longer, adding additional water if needed to prevent burning. Stir in olives.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
