Step 1
Char the peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until blackened all over, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 2 minutes.
Step 2
Peel the charred skin from the peppers. Dice the peppers into small pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Dice the tomatoes and red onion finely. Add both to the bowl with the peppers.
Step 4
Add the parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir until combined.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning. If the salsa tastes flat, add more lemon juice or a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Serve immediately with crusty bread or alongside a simple onion salad.
