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

1

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.
2

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.
3

Serve taktouka warm or cold with crusty bread for scooping up the salad.
