For a richer flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Feel free to adjust the amount of red chile pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. This peperonata is excellent served warm or at room temperature. It can also be made a day ahead of time, as the flavors meld together beautifully overnight. If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or toss with pasta for a simple and delicious vegetarian meal.
