Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 medium red bell peppers
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon harissa paste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat.
Wash the tomatoes and red bell peppers thoroughly, and pat them dry.
Place the tomatoes, red bell peppers, and garlic cloves (with skin on) on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven.
Grill or broil the vegetables, turning occasionally, until their skins are charred and blistered (about 10-15 minutes for the tomatoes and bell peppers, and 5-7 minutes for the garlic cloves).
Remove the vegetables from the grill or oven and let them cool slightly.
Peel the skins off the tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic cloves. Discard the skins and any seeds from the bell peppers.
Roughly chop the peeled vegetables and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork or a potato masher to create a rustic texture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mashed vegetables, then add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and harissa paste (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice.
Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, pita, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.
