  2. Peel and thinly slice the onion.1 onion
  3. Peel and finely chop the garlic.1 garlic clove

To cook the veggies

  1. Add the oil to a large non-stick/cast-iron skillet over high heat.2 tablespoon olive oil
  2. When the oil is hot, add the peppers and onions to the pan.
  3. Cook for 4 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the salt, oregano, and chopped garlic. ½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  5. Stir constantly, cooking for 1 minute more. Then remove the veggies from the pan and serve. Or allow to cool in a bowl to store for later (see note 3)

Notes

  • You can use any color bell peppers you like here — green, red, yellow, or orange.
  • The choice of onion is up to you. Red, white, or brown onions will be fine.
  • Once the veggies are cooked, it is important to remove them from the pan as this stops any overcooking. Overcooking would turn the vegetables soft and burn the garlic.
