This is named after two Afghani kitchen hands who worked in my wife’s Middle Eastern restaurant back in the early 2000s. This was their staple during Ramadan and they taught Cath how to make it, who in turn showed me. This is a favourite of ours when we get a day off together.

Ingredients

  • 2 red capsicums (bell peppers)
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  1. Place the capsicums over the open flame of a gas stove burner (or use a kitchen blowtorch) and roast until the entire surface is charred and blistered. Transfer to a container, cover with a lid or plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes (the residual heat will steam the capsicums and loosen the skins). Use your fingers or a knife to rub or peel off the blackened skins.
