Algerian salad of peppers

About this dish

Hmiss (Arabic: حميص) or ifelfel, meaning "chilli pepper" in Kabylia, or felfla and chlita in the region of Oran, is a traditional Algerian salad made from grilled peppers and tomatoes, chopped, mixed and seasoned with olive oil. The word "hmiss" means sauté in Algerian Arabic, because the vegetables have to be sautéd after grilling. In 1975, French chef and author Marcell Boulestin labeled hmiss in his 'Boulestin's Round-the-year Cookbook' simply as the Algerian salad.
