  2. Add the chopped roasted red pepper, dried oregano, chili flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse a few times to mix well while keeping some chunks.
  3. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl, creating a slight well in the center. Drizzle olive oil over the top and garnish with whole green olives.
