Sauté the onions: Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onions. Sprinkle with a little salt and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions just begin to color.

Add the peppers: Add the peppers and stir well to combine with the onions. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often. The peppers should be al dente—cooked, but with a little crunch left in them.

Add the garlic: Add the garlic, and sauté another 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Stage

Add the salt, sugar, oregano: Sprinkle a little more salt over everything and add the sugar and dried oregano. Cook 1 minute.
