How Maurice does it

firecooking
  1. 1

    Prepare a fire pit and let the wood burn down to hot embers.

  2. 2

    Place the whole green, yellow, and red bell peppers directly onto the burning wood or embers using tongs.

  3. 3

    Char the peppers, turning occasionally, until the skins are fully blackened and blistered all over.

  4. 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. 5

    Once cool enough to handle, scrape off the charred skins and remove the stems and seeds. Slice the peeled peppers into strips.

  6. 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. 7

    In a wooden bowl, combine the sliced charred peppers, diced feta, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and green herbs.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss with two forks until well mixed.

  9. 9

    Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, garnish with edible purple flowers if desired, and serve.
