How to Make Matbucha Moroccan Grilled Red Peppers Tomato Salsa
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- 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.
- While the peppers grill, roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, and garlic.
- Once the peppers have cooled slightly, peel off the charred skin and roughly chop the flesh.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, roasted red peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, harissa paste, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more harissa paste for extra heat, or more salt and cumin to your preference.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
