  • 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 4 teaspoons of caraway seed

Method

 

» Preheat the grill to very hot.

 

» Place the tomatoes, peppers, chilies, and onion in the grill pan, until the peppers have blistered and the onions are browned (15-20 minutes).

 

» Remove the chilies before the green peppers  and onions are fully cooked.

 

» Peel and seed the capsicums and chilies, then place in a blender together with the garlic, caraway seeds, and salt, then process briefly — five short bursts are enough.
