- Return the chopped peppers to the bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy small skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour the spiced oil over the peppers.
- Add 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl.
- Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
