Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet peppers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus more for garnish
  • 1 large onion finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 5 ripe italian tomatoes grated
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • To roast your red bell peppers you need to broil them in your oven for about 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway to ensure even cooking.
    Once ready put your peppers in a Ziploc bag and seal it.

Making the sauce

  • Start by mincing your onion and garlic. Heat up 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a non stick pan on medium-low and add your onion and garlic.
  • Cut your tomatoes in half (length-wise) and use a box grater to grate the inside of the tomato into a bowl to extract the pulp out and set aside. If you don't feel like grating tomatoes, you can just dice them.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes and add your fresh grated/diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika and salt. Cook for 5 minutes and add your tomato paste.
  • Open your Ziploc bag and peel the charred skin from the peppers along with the seeds. Cut the peppers into strips and add to the sauce. Cook for another 3-5 minutes and turn off the heat.

Garnish

  • Garnish with some freshly chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
