Step-by-step
- Place the pepper quarters on kitchen paper and cover with more kitchen paper. Press down gently to remove excess moisture. Flip each quarter over, sprinkle with the sea salt and roll up like a rug. Leave for about 1 hour at room temperature.
- Unroll the peppers and press them to remove excess moisture. Warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a medium frying pan. Add the peppers and gently sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato, garlic, cumin and parsley and sauté for an instant. Tilt the pan so you can scoop out the oil and discard it. Toss the peppers and tomatoes with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Serve at room temperature. The salad can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
