Place pepper strips and garlic in a food processor and pulse quickly 7 or 8 times until pureed. Add the chickpeas, 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and the curry powder/oregano. Process until pureed, about 30 seconds. Midway through, stop the machine and scrape the bowl down if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more olive oil if it is too dry. Transfer to a serving bowl.
