- 1 Red pepper

- 1 Green pepper

Seasoning:

- 1 tspn smoked paprika

- 1 tspn chilli pepper

- Fresh black pepper and salt to taste

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- Other optional/alternative seasoning depending on preference

- Fresh basil, mint OR coriander

Method:

  • You can peel the tomatoes by plunging into boiling hot water but not necessarily needed if using good tomatoes
  • Roughly chop all vegetable ingredients and blend in food processor (Consistency is optional – you can leave it fairly chunky or have smooth)#
  • Add seasoning to taste at the end until you have the flavour you like
  • Chill in fridge or if you don’t have time add ice cubes to chill quickly
