Preparation
Grill the whole peppers and tomatoes directly over a flame or under the oven grill, turning regularly, until the skin is well charred all over.
Seal them in a plastic bag or under a cloth for 10 minutes: the steam will loosen the skin and make peeling easier.
Peel the peppers and tomatoes, seed them, then cut the flesh into small pieces or mash roughly with a fork.
Add the crushed garlic, cumin, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon, mix well.
Serve at room temperature, sprinkled with fresh coriander, with bread to scoop it up.
