Number Of Ingredients 11

8 long, green, mild peppers - tops, seeds, and stems carefully removed
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
ground black pepper, or more to taste
dried oregano, or more to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
½ pound crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:
