Steps

1 Done	Grill the vegetables for the Mechouia salad. Preheat your oven to 200°C on the fan setting. Place your peppers, tomatoes and garlic cloves on a baking tray. Roast them until the skin blackens slightly, then remove them from the oven.
2 Done	Preparation of Slata Mechouia Place the peppers in a sealed plastic bag (or freezer bag) and leave them to cool. Meanwhile, peel and deseed the tomatoes and chop them into small cubes. Peel the garlic cloves and crush or chop them. Once cooled, peel and deseed the roasted peppers as well. The skin should come off easily thanks to the condensation in the sealed bag.
3 Done	Chop the vegetables In a salad bowl, mix together the tomatoes, peppers and roasted garlic cloves. Chop everything up using two knives, or you can also blend them in a food processor (without making the mixture too liquid).
4 Done	Mechouia Salad Dressing Once the mixture is finely chopped, season your mechouia salad with ground caraway, cayenne pepper, olive oil and lemon juice. Mix well.
5 Done	Your homemade Mechouia salad is ready! You have made a delicious Slata Mechouia at home. You can serve it with olives, a few hard-boiled eggs on the side and flaked tuna. Enjoy!
