Roast Capsicum with Feta and Olives

Roast Capsicum with Feta and Olives
This is a very Greek way to serve capsicums. The best way to eat them is to mash them together with the feta using a fork, and then slap it all on some grilled pita bread. A little Greek music in the background is recommended for the full experience.
