Matbucha – Moroccan tomato dip

Here’s the matbucha recipe that I was asked about last week – our family thought it had the right balance of flavorfulness without being too spicy.

Matbucha – Moroccan Tomato Dip

  • 7 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 T. sweet paprika
  • 3 – 5 T. olive oil
  • 1/2 t. tumeric
  • salt and pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients and put into a pot.  Cook on a high flame until the mixture comes to a boil, then turn flame down to low and cook uncovered for two hours (yes, that’s not a typo!) or until the mixture thickens.  (I made several times this recipe and was surprised by how much it cooked down.)  Serve warm or cold.
