Cook the bell peppers. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Transfer the sliced bell peppers into the pan. Sauté until the pepper slices are softened and translucent. Let the peppers cook in their own juices, constantly flipping the peppers so they don’t burn. Remove the cooked peppers and transfer them back into the bowl. Sprinkle the fresh oregano over the peppers.
