Grilled sweet peppers is a snack my grandmother kept on hand along with other goodies whenever we visited in her downtown Cairo apartment.
It is a simple, delicious and highly nutritious dish common in Mediterranean cooking.
It is used as an appetizer on grilled baguette slices, as a side dish with grilled meat or as part of a mezze or tapas style dinner with a selection of cold cuts, olives and other small dishes like seasoned Fairy Eggplants.
However you choose, you won’t be disappointed.
