Taktouka

Heidi Matthews

Report

Taktouka is a zesty Moroccan salad that perfectly balances the smokiness of roasted peppers with the sweetness of tomatoes.

Instructions

Roast the whole peppers on a gas flame or BBQ, or alternatively broil them in the oven. Then, place them in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to sweat them.
In the meantime, dice the tomatoes and sauté them in a pan with olive oil until all the water is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
While the tomatoes are cooking, peel and clean the peppers from the seeds and stem. Finely dice them.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the peppers, sugar, garlic, and paprika.
Cook for about 20 minutes on high heat while stirring.
Lower the heat and simmer for 2 hours while stirring occasionally.
Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional)
