Algerian Roasted Pepper Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (preferably a mix of red, yellow, and green)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
  3. Place the peppers face down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
  4. Once roasted, remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to steam the peppers for about 10 minutes. This will make peeling them easier.
  5. While the peppers are steaming, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  7. Peel the skins off the steamed peppers and cut them into strips. In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted peppers, sautéed onions and garlic, red wine vinegar, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Allow the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy this salad at room temperature or chilled.
