About Matbucha salad

Matbucha Salad is a flavorful dish originating from North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Moroccan and Israeli cooking. This cooked vegetable salad is made primarily from tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, and chili peppers, slowly simmered to create a thick, rich texture. Often seasoned with olive oil, paprika, and sometimes cumin, matbucha balances smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors. It's naturally low in fat and calories while rich in vitamins A, C, and antioxidants due to its tomato and pepper base. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats, though moderation is key to keep the fat content in check. Matbucha is typically served as a dip, side dish, or topping for bread, adding a nutrient-packed burst of flavor to meals. For those monitoring sodium intake, homemade versions allow control over added salt.
