Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1 large red or yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Method
 

  1. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin, evenly sized strips so they cook at approximately the same rate.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow the cooking surface to become very hot.
  3. Add the olive oil, followed immediately by the sliced peppers and onions.
  4. Cook for about 4 minutes without stirring too frequently, allowing some browned edges to develop.
  5. Add the oregano, salt, and black pepper, then continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Remove the vegetables while still slightly crisp, stir in the optional lime juice, and serve immediately.
