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

The peppers were a bit too soft for my liking. I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.
