Instructions

  1. Cut the peppers into strips and the tomatoes into cubes, peeling the tomatoes if you prefer a smoother texture.
  2. Crush the garlic cloves with a pinch of salt and set aside with the chopped coriander and parsley.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the peppers, then cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
  4. Add the tomatoes and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, until the liquid reduces and the mixture becomes jammy.
  5. Stir in the crushed garlic, herbs, paprika, cumin and sweet paprika, then cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Adjust the seasoning and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or cold with bread.

Variations and tips
