Matbuha is a flavorful tomato and bell pepper spread originating from North African and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly associated with Moroccan and Israeli culinary traditions. Its base ingredients typically include ripe tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, chili peppers, and olive oil, slow-cooked to create a rich, smoky-sweet condiment. Often seasoned with paprika, cumin, and salt, Matbuha is a versatile addition to meals, enjoyed as a dip, topping, or accompaniment to bread, eggs, or grilled meats. Nutritionally, Matbuha is rich in vitamins A and C from tomatoes and peppers, offering antioxidant and immune-boosting benefits. The garlic adds heart-healthy properties, while olive oil contributes beneficial fats. However, it can be high in sodium depending on the amount of salt used. For a healthier option, opt for homemade versions or check the label to avoid excessive salt content in store-bought varieties.
