Ingredients
- 6 red capsicums
- 2 onions
- 2 heads garlic
- 250 ml extra virgin olive oil (arbequina if possible)
- sea salt
- 500 g tomatoes, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
- ½ bunch flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 125 ml sherry vinegar
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds, toasted and crushed
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the whole capsicums, onions and heads of garlic in a baking dish. Drizzle with some of the olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast for 30 minutes or until the onion is soft. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (the steam will help loosen the skins) and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Put the tomato and parsley in a separate bowl. Squeeze the onions from their skins, roughly chop them and add to the tomato. Cut the tops off the heads of garlic and squeeze the cloves into the bowl. Peel the capsicums and discard the seeds. Tear the flesh into strips and add to the bowl. Pour over the remaining oil and the sherry vinegar. Sprinkle with the cumin and add salt to taste. Toss well with your hands.
