Slata Mechouia

Ingredients

What you’ll need

• 3 large green bell peppers
• 2 hot green chilies
• 4 plum tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 whole bulb of garlic
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tsp ground caraway seeds
• salt
• 1 can tuna (drained)
• 2 hard-boiled eggs (quartered) for garnish

Method

How it comes together

1. 1

   Grill peppers, tomatoes, onion, and whole garlic bulb on an outdoor grill or under an oven broiler on high (425°F / 218°C) for 15-20 minutes until skins are completely black and blistered.

2. 2

   Place grilled vegetables in a bowl, cover with foil, and let steam for 10 minutes (this makes peeling easy).

3. 3

   Peel the blackened skins off. Coarsely chop tomatoes, peppers, onion, and squeeze the garlic out of its cloves.

4. 4

   Place chopped vegetables in a bowl. Season with ground caraway, olive oil, and salt. Garnish with flaked tuna and hard-boiled eggs.
