Combine the peppers, onions, halloumi, balsamic vinegar, oregano, olive oil, garlic purée, ½ tsp salt and some black pepper. If chilling or freezing for later, tip into a freezerproof bag or container and seal. Will keep chilled for up to three days, or frozen for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before continuing.
