About Masgouf
Masgouf is a traditional Iraqi dish often regarded as the country's national cuisine. This iconic delicacy features freshwater fish, commonly carp, that is butterflied, seasoned with a flavorful blend of salt, tamarind, turmeric, and olive oil, then slow-cooked over an open wood fire. It originates from the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, where fresh fish is abundant. Masgouf is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health, making it a nutritious choice. Its preparation emphasizes natural, wholesome ingredients with minimal oil, making it relatively low in unhealthy fats. However, the method of grilling over an open flame can create charred portions, which, if consumed in excess, may raise health concerns. Served with fresh vegetables, rice, or traditional Iraqi bread, Masgouf is a flavorful, nutrient-packed centerpiece to any meal.
