The colour of the summer plot
Native to Central America, the Sweet Pepper holds a central place in Tunisian cooking, grilled for mechouia salad or stuffed as a family dish.
Heat-loving, it produces tirelessly from early summer until the first cool of autumn, provided it is well fed.
"Sweet peppers are picked green out of greed and red out of patience."
