Matbucha (Arabic: مطبوخة;maṭbūkhah) is a North African[1] condiment or cooked salad consisting of cooked tomatoes and roasted bell peppers seasoned with garlic and chili pepper, and slow-cooked for a number of hours.[2] It is traditionally served in North Africa with a traditional Moroccan bread and as a condiment typically served as part of an appetizer, often as part of a salad course.
It may be used as a base for shakshouka.[2]
