INSTRUCTIONS
Place red bell peppers on rack under a hot, pre-heated broiler. Cook, turning occasionally, until skins are charred and blackened. Remove peppers and place them in a paper bag for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mash the garlic in a large bowl with a little salt until you have a paste. Whisk in the lemon juice and then the olive oil in a slow stream until the dressing is emulsified. Stir in the coriander and onion. Remove the bell peppers from the bag, skin them, core and seed them, cut away ribs, then cut the flesh into short, thin strips. Stir the bell pepper strips into the dressing, cover, and chill for one hour. Gently fold in the olives, chopped eggs, and flaked tuna. Stir to combine. Great in pita bread.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
