About Mahjouba
Mahjouba is a traditional Algerian flatbread stuffed with a flavorful filling of caramelized onions, fresh tomatoes, and bell peppers, seasoned with spices like paprika and cayenne for a burst of savory heat. Often referred to as Algeria’s version of a crepe or savory pancake, it is made using semolina flour, water, and oil, giving it a soft yet sturdy texture. This dish is typically pan-fried until golden, resulting in a comforting combination of crispy exterior and tender filling. Mahjouba is rich in dietary fiber from the vegetables, promoting healthy digestion, and provides energy through its semolina base. However, it is fried in oil, which increases its fat content. Depending on the preparation, it can be high in carbohydrates and calories, so moderation is key. Perfect as a snack or light meal, it holds a cherished place in North African cuisine for its satisfying taste and simple, wholesome ingredients.
