Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 bell pepper yellow, orange or red, sliced
- 1 yellow onion chopped, medium
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 ½ teaspoons rosemary minced fresh
- 1 teaspoon oregano Greek
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives sliced, pitted
- 1/4 cup Castelvetrano olives sliced, pitted
- 1 tablespoon capers
- feta cheese for garnish, crumbled
Instructions
- Saute the vegetables: Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the sliced peppers, chopped onion, and grape tomatoes. Let them cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. The tomatoes should start to blister or break down just a little bit. Add the garlic and stir.
- Season: Add the rosemary, oregano, thyme, ground pepper, salt, and zest from 1 lemon. Stir, and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Finish: Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, kalamata olives, castelvetrano olives, and the capers. Stir and let everything warm through for another 5 minutes or so. The onions should be softened and translucent, some of the tomatoes should be collapsed, and the peppers should be tender, but not mushy. You still want a little firmness to them. Garnish with feta and serve!
