ingredients
- 4 medium green peppers
- 3 (800 g) cans plum tomatoes
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 1 preserved lemon (this can be bought from any good delicatessen)
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, finely diced
directions
- Using the oven, grill the uncut peppers on full for 10-15 minutes until the skin starts to blister and turn charcoal black. Let cool and peel off the softened flesh, cut and dice into small squares about 2cm in size. Throw the core of the pepper and seeds away.
- Slice the preserved lemon into thin strips lengthways.
- Drain and chop the tomatoes into bite sized pieces and in a large frying pan combine with all the olive oil.

- Now, add the peppers, the preserved lemon, and the parsley.
- Cook for a further 5-10 minutes to really thicken the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting.
We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :)
The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne.
I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that.
We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of.
We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try
