Madagascar

Lala brought this lovely recipe to New Zealand from her native Madagascar and passed it on to Fiona, a mutual friend, who affectionately named it “bad breath salad”.

It doesn't matter what you call it: this garlic, salami and capsicum salad is a great recipe when you found a number of capsicums (also known as bell pepper or sweet pepper) for a good price.

Marietjie’s often roasts the capsicum. The result is a sweeter salad with a slightly smoky flavour.
