• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a food processor, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
