Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating the broiler in your oven.
  2. Arrange red bell peppers and tomatoes on a baking sheet.
  3. Broil the peppers and tomatoes for approximately 8 minutes, turning them occasionally.
  4. Allow the roasted peppers and tomatoes to cool down.
  5. Peel the skins off the tomatoes and peppers.
  6. Transfer the peeled tomatoes and peppers into a large mixing bowl.
  7. Remove the cores and seeds from the bell peppers.
  8. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  9. Add the jalapenos and garlic to the heated skillet.
  10. Sauté the jalapenos and garlic until they become tender, stirring often.
  11. Take the skillet off the heat.
  12. Move the garlic and jalapeno mixture to the bowl containing the tomatoes and red peppers.
  13. With two sharp steak knives, chop the tomatoes and peppers until you achieve a coarse, soupy texture.
  14. Mix the ingredients together and set the sauce aside.
  15. Pour the semolina into a large bowl.
  16. Incorporate salt and 4 tablespoons of olive oil into the semolina.
  17. Slowly add water while mixing and kneading with your hands.
  18. Continue this process until the dough is cohesive but not sticky or dry.
  19. Split the dough into 6 equal portions.
  20. Shape each portion into a ball.
  21. For each ball, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  22. Roll out one ball of dough at a time to a thickness of no more than 1/4 inch.
  23. Fry the rolled dough in the hot skillet until dark brown spots form and the texture is crispy.
  24. Take the cooked flatbread out of the skillet.
  25. Wrap the cooked flatbread in a clean towel while you prepare the remaining pieces.
  26. To serve, tear off pieces of the flatbread and use them to scoop up the sauce.
