Directions:

Warm the olive oil in a large heavy saute pot. Add the red onion & saute over a low heat until the onion becomes limp & translucent. Add the garlic & saute briefly. Stir in the pepper strips & sweat them over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. Add the tomatoes & salt & cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Put the mixture in a food processor & pulse about 30 times. DO NOT PUREE. If it seems too moist, add the breadcrumbs.
