Sweet peppers from your box
1 hot pepper — or 1 teaspoon of chile flakes
Olive oil, about 3 or 4 tablespoons
All the tomatoes from your box

1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt

instructions

Roast, peel and de-seed the peppers and chile.  Cut them lengthwise into strips about 1-inch wide.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently until they have thickened.  Add the peppers and chile (or chile flakes), paprika, cumin, parsley, and a few pinches of salt.  Turn off the heat.  Stir in the lemon zest.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve at room temperature or chilled.  Pile the Salad on a platter and finish with the lemon quarters and sprigs of parsley.
