Roast the peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a 200°C oven for 25 minutes.
Rest the vegetables in a covered container for 5 minutes so the skins peel easily.
Remove the skins and pepper seeds, then coarsely chop the vegetables with a knife.
Mix the roasted vegetables with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Rest the salad at room temperature so the roasted flavor balances with the lemon.
Do not puree the roasted vegetables too much; mechouia keeps its character when it remains slightly chunky.
💡 Tip: Leaving the vegetables coarsely chopped with a knife prevents the salad from turning into a watery mash.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm while the lemon juice tastes fresh.
