Salat Mechouia - Grilled Capsicum and Tomato Salad

Marie Haviv

Ingredients
  

  • 3-6 ripe tomatoes
  • 2-6 green capsicums Marie always uses a very pale green variety, which I've only seen in Israel
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • [Optional] 1 fresh chilli
  • 1 lemon juice only
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • roast tomatoes and capisums and peel
  • add garlic and chilli and chop all together (small)
  • add lemon juice, olive oil and salt and mix

Notes

Robert cools the tomato and capsicum, sprinkles with salt, then peels.
Marie used two crossed knives to cut the salad - like scissors.
