Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 1 large Red onion sliced
- 1 large Capsicum (Green bell pepper) sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
- Start by preparing the vegetables. Wash them thoroughly. Remove the core of the green bell pepper and slice it. Slice the onion as well.
- Place a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced red onion and green pepper.
- Season with salt and oregano.
- Stir and cook for approximately 10 minutes until the onions caramelize and the veggies achieve a tender yet crunchy texture. Serve.
Notes
- A cast iron pan is ideal as it gives a slightly charred flavor to the veggies. However, a non-stick pan works well too.
- Slice the onion and pepper to a medium thickness. Thin slices tend to soften quickly and lose their crunch.
- You don't want to overcook veggies, or they will lose their crunch. So keep an eye on them and stir frequently.
