How Maurice does it
- 1
Prepare a fire pit and let the wood burn down to hot embers.
- 2
Place the whole green, yellow, and red bell peppers directly onto the burning wood or embers using tongs.
- 3
Char the peppers, turning occasionally, until the skins are fully blackened and blistered all over.
- 4
Remove the charred peppers from the fire with tongs and place them into a wooden bowl. Cover and let steam for a few minutes.
- 5
Once cool enough to handle, scrape off the charred skins and remove the stems and seeds. Slice the peeled peppers into strips.
- 6
While peeling, dice the feta cheese and mince the garlic. Strip the rosemary leaves from the sprig and chop the fresh green herbs.
- 7
In a wooden bowl, combine the sliced charred peppers, diced feta, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and green herbs.
- 8
Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss with two forks until well mixed.
- 9
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, garnish with edible purple flowers if desired, and serve.
