• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon harissa paste (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash the tomatoes and red bell peppers thoroughly, and pat them dry.

Step 3

Place the tomatoes, red bell peppers, and garlic cloves (with skin on) on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

Remove the vegetables from the grill or oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 6

Peel the skins off the tomatoes, bell peppers, and garlic cloves. Discard the skins and any seeds from the bell peppers.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil over the mashed vegetables, then add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and harissa paste (if using). Mix thoroughly.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, pita, or as an accompaniment to grilled meats.
