Matbukha

Matbukha (Arabic: مطبوخة‎ maṭbūkhah) is a Maghrebi dish of cooked tomatoes and roasted bell peppers seasoned with garlic and chili pepper. The name of the dish originates from Arabic and means "cooked" in Arabic.[1] It is served as an appetizer, often as part of a meze table. Matbukha is popular across the Maghreb and in Israel, to where it was brought by Jewish immigrants from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Libya.[2]
