COOKED MOROCCAN SALAD (TAKTOUKA) OF TOMATO AND ROASTED PEPPER

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, occasionally stirring, for about 20 minutes or until the tomatoes are very soft. Adjust the heat if necessary to keep the tomatoes and peppers from burning as the liquids evaporate.
• Smash the softened vegetables with a spoon and continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the liquids are reduced to oil. At this point, the salad should be 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. If desired, it can be garnished with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil.
