Meshwia
North African Chargrilled Pepper Salad
Ingredients:
3 large sweet peppers, green, red and yellow-1 large onion-2 cloves of garlic-1 tbsp chopped parsley-1 lemon-2 tbsp olive oil-Salt and pepper-Harissa (optional)
Method:
Slice the peppers in half through the stalk; discard the seeds and place on barbecue or hot grill with the unpeeled onion and cloves of garlic.
Grill until charred. Place into a plastic bag until cool. When cool skin all the vegetables and slice finely.
Place in a salad bowl and add the juice of a whole lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. For those who like spicy food, add a tbsp Harissa.

This salad should be served very cold with barbecued meats or fish.

If you are in a hurry buy a jar of chargrilled red peppers, add a finely sliced green pepper and some finely diced red onion.
Finish as above.
Not quite the real thing but who wants to slave over a hot stove on holiday.

Thanks Christine, you'll have to let me know how it turns out.

Wendy, I know you're a good cook, so if you have any recipes, please email me them and I will post them.
I used these colours for the blog. Just replaced the existing ones on the template.
