For a smoky flavor, you can char the peppers directly over an open flame on a gas stovetop instead of broiling. Feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat. This salad is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. Serve as a side dish, appetizer, or as part of a mezze platter. Try using different colored bell peppers for a more visually appealing dish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
0 mins
Preheat your oven's broiler to high heat.
02
Step
5 mins
Place the green bell peppers on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered on all sides (approximately 5 minutes).
03
Step
0 mins
Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make the skins easier to peel.
04
Step
5 mins
Once cooled slightly, peel the blackened skins from the peppers and discard. Chop the peeled peppers into bite-sized pieces.
05
Step
0 mins
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat (2 minutes).
06
StepAdd the chopped peppers and tomatoes to the skillet. Stir in the sugar, paprika, parsley, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper (2 minutes).
07
StepReduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
08
StepRemove from heat and stir in the sliced green olives.
09
StepServe warm or chilled. Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.
