Matbucha (Template:Langx, maṭbūkhah; Template:Langx[1]) is a North African[2] condiment or cooked salad consisting of cooked tomatoes and roasted bell peppers seasoned with garlic and chili pepper, and slow-cooked for a number of hours.[3] It is traditionally served in North Africa with a traditional Moroccan bread and as a condiment typically served as part of an appetizer, often as part of a salad course.
Matbucha has been brought to Israel by Moroccan Jews and is now a staple in the country, it may be enjoyed as a dip or used as a base for shakshouka.[3]
Preparation
Matbucha is prepared by cooking tomatoes, bell peppers, chilis, and garlic over low heat for many hours until they cook down into a smooth, thick spread similar to jam in consistency.[3]
