Matboucha

Matboucha (Hebrew:מטבוחה) is a traditional cooked Moroccan dish of tomatoes and roasted peppers seasoned with garlic and chili pepper.

It is very popular in Israel, especially during Shabbat’s evenings. It was brought to Israel by new immigrants from Morocco. It is recommended to use fresh tomatoes to make Matboucha. Bon appétit!

• 1/2-1 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
1. Dice tomatoes, pepper, and garlic. Place in a 3-quart saucepan.
2. Over medium heat, uncovered, cook the mixture for 20 minutes. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
3. When the vegetables are nice and soft, add the oil and spices. Cook for another 10 minutes. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
