Salade Méchouia (Tunisian Grilled Pepper and Tomato Salad)

Step 1 of 7Char the vegetables over flame

Lay the peppers, chillies, tomatoes and unpeeled garlic straight on a hot charcoal grill or over a gas flame, turning with tongs until the skins blister and blacken in patches all over. The peppers take 15-20 minutes; the tomatoes and garlic are done sooner, so lift each one as it is ready.
