How to Make Matbucha Moroccan Grilled Red Peppers Tomato Salsa

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Halve the red bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Brush with olive oil and grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the skin is blackened and blistered.
  3. While the peppers grill, roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic.
  4. Once the peppers have cooled slightly, peel off the charred skin and roughly chop the flesh.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  8. Add the chopped tomatoes, roasted red peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, harissa paste, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more harissa paste for extra heat, or more salt and cumin to your preference.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
