1. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. When it is hot, add the oil, onion, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
2. Cook the onion for 10-12 minutes or until browned, stirring once or twice a minute—more often if they are browning too quickly.
3. When the onions are dark, add the garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes or until brown.
4. Add the bell pepper. Cook 7-10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
5. Add tomatoes and dried herbs. Cook 5 minutes, stirring once.
6. Add water and bring to a boil. Stir in oats and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until water has been absorbed and the oats are soft.
