Vegetables

  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced

Seasonings & Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: In a skillet over medium heat, warm 3 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering to create the perfect base for sautéing the vegetables.
