Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 5 medium, finely chopped ripe tomatoes
- 1 small, sliced (optional) green chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) pita bread
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.
If using, stir in the sliced green chili pepper for extra heat.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin, then stir well to combine.
Continue to cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the excess liquid to evaporate for a thicker consistency.
Turn off the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm with pita bread on the side for dipping and enjoy!
