Cooking Steps
- Halve peppers, then remove the inside cores and seeds to make bowl shapes (keep the stems on).
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Core, then cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add half the tomatoes, half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. (TIP: We love using olive oil in this recipe.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
