“Meshwiya”- A Tunisian Roasted Vegetable Dip

Ingredients

• 1 green bell pepper

• 1 red bell pepper

• 1 yellow bell pepper

• 4  tomatoes, quartered

• 2-3 green chili peppers

• 3 garlic cloves, crushed

• Optional- 3 more whole garlic cloves to roast

• ⅓ cup lemon juice

• 1 tbsp salt

• 1 tsp. Black pepper

• ¼ c oil

Instructions

• Turn the oven on “broil” (high). 

• Arrange all the vegetables on a baking pan and broil for 25 minutes. 

• Flip them halfway through and take out the 3 garlic cloves so they will not burn and continue broiling till very brown and even kind of burned. 

• Let the vegetables cool off. Peel off the peppers. I peel off the tomatoes just a bit.

• Chop all the vegetables very finely. Add the rest of the ingredients. Fix seasoning.
