Hmiss (Arabic: حميص) or ifelfel, meaning "chilli pepper" in Kabylia,[1][2][3] or felfla[4] and chlita in the region of Oran, is a traditional Algerian salad made from grilled peppers and tomatoes, chopped, mixed and seasoned with olive oil.[5][6] The word "hmiss" means sauté in Algerian derja, because the vegetables have to be sautéd after grilling.[7][8]
In 1975, French chef and author Marcell Boulestin labels Hmiss in his 'Boulestin's Round-the-year Cookbook' simply as the Algerian salad.[9]
