The stuff.....
2-3 green peppers (this salad can be made with eggplant instead of green peppers) i used a mix of both ...
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 small tomatoes, chopped
2 medium onions, minced
2 tsp. red pepper
2-3 Tbs. tomato paste
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
1/2 tsp. tumeric
1/2 tsp. cumin
olive oil
drop of water if needed........
Put the green peppers on an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is burned black; put the peppers in a plastic bag rubbing briskly between the hands to remove the burned skin (if you are using eggplant instead of peppers, char them in the same manner, but simply scrape off the burned skin with a fork)
Saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium to high heat; when the onions have become soft add the peppers, and chopped eggplant ,tomatoes, red pepper and other spices; when the tomatoes are soft add the tomato paste; lower heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes
Allow to cool before serving, sprinkle with minced parsley
My cheat today was a sun dried tomato and basil hummus bought from store .....serve with warm pita bread or a crusty french loaf ....... thats the stuff in small bowls 
Delish.................... |

Thanks for the recipe, aja.
Oh, I recommend Nan Bread (Indian subcontient style) instead of pita bread. It's softer and tastier.
Today I had proper indian chicken curry (, well I have it everyday!!) with Nan bread with lemonade. Yummy |

If you ever come to Midland, let me know- you're always welcome to my pigeon hole. I'll cook Indian food for you. I'm not a good cook though. 
I'm planning to invite some people during Eid (after the end of Ramadan, which is due to start in less than 3 months). Even better if you make during that time
Idon't like Korma that much...it's too blend for me. I know a Scottish doctor who LOVES Inidian curry and his wife can't stand it. |

when i first moved to the States 15 years ago...I Starved.... let me tell U i missed my fave foods soooo much.....I hated the food here everything was so bland and yuk .....(as far as I was concerned)
I have always loved to cook west indian food ....I had no probs making that .....But PROPER indian food i had always gone to the local indian ......and i was at a loss..... so i bought some indian cook books .....and started learning ......its taken me a few years to get the tastes i wanted.....But i have them now and btw Ash My Korma is to die for and not bland
I have travelled a lot in my life so a lot of my cooking comes from the countrys i have been in .....and I add an Aja twist......
I lived in Morrocco in the 70s ash ......and i even tried to do ramadan one August.....ffs it nearly killed me .... .but i lasted 2 weeks and I adore *harira* spelling ? as a matter of fact i love morrocain food full stop oh and i love that fried bread in egg they do before dawn in ramadan ....I guess its like french toast Maroc Style ......
i am thinking what foods do i now like in the USA ???
Gotta be down south BBQs and collard greens etc etc
anyways are U a born brit ??? I am half maltese half english born in malta ......
lol i forgot i was in the recipe section |

I never tried Moroccan food... I'll have to try your recipe... Most of the dish that I tried from the Arab are just too blend, not spicy enough. I tried some African (nigerian) dish but it was too hot for me. In general, I'm too lazy to cook for myself.. Cooking only for me just doesn't make any sense to me. Why? Well, it takes me over on hour to finish cooking a simple chicken dsh but it takes fewminutes to finish it off. It's simply NOT worth cooking every day. That's why I cook once a every week and chuck them into the freezer. Student life, miserable but beautiful
/ No, Aja..I'm from Indian Subcontient ... Just doing my doing my degree in UK ... I haven't travel to various part of the world yet. I'd like to travel (like you) after I finish my study. |
