About Chlita

Chlita is a traditional North African dip or condiment, particularly popular in Algerian and Tunisian cuisines. It is made from roasted bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, and sometimes chili peppers for added heat. The mix is puréed or finely chopped, resulting in a flavorful, vibrant spread with a smoky and slightly spicy profile. Chlita is commonly served as a dip with flatbreads or used as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables. Nutritionally, Chlita is rich in vitamins A and C, thanks to the peppers, which also provide antioxidants. The olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, making it a wholesome addition to meals. However, moderation is key, as the oil can increase calorie content. With its simple, fresh ingredients, Chlita is a nutritious and delicious way to enhance your dishes while adding a touch of Mediterranean flair.
