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.
