ingredients

6 tomatoes (peeled, seeded and chopped)
2 -3 green peppers (roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
cayenne pepper, pinch (optional)
¹⁄₃ cup olive oil

directions

Mix all ingredients in a large frying pan. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are very soft. Adjust the heat if necessary to keep the tomatoes and peppers from burning.
Smash the softened tomatoes with a spoon, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the liquids are reduced to oil. Cook until the salad is well-blended and can be stirred away from the sides of the pan.
Serve taktouka warm or cold with crusty bread for scooping up the salad.

The weather forecast when I got up this morning said 36c (97f) so I got busy and made this up right away. It was part of a simple cold dinner that included Recipe #505499 and purchased flat bread. It really hit the spot this very warm evening. Easy to make and and yummy, made with things I always have on hand I'm sure I'll revisit this. Made for ZWT 9.
