New York Shuk Signature Matbucha, 10 oz.
At the height of summer, when the days stretch long and warm, gardens burst with sun-soaked vegetables—ruby tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, silky eggplants—and a lush tangle of fragrant herbs. Around the world, cooks celebrate this abundance: France has ratatouille, Hungary lecsó, Italy its radiant tomato sauces, Mexico its vibrant salsas—each dish a tribute to the season’s exuberant harvest.
For Moroccan Jews, that summertime flavor is captured in matbucha (pronounced mat-boo-ha). Its ingredients are beautifully simple—peak-season tomatoes, hot green chiles, and garlic—with patience as the essential seasoning. Simmered slowly, they melt into a rich, deeply concentrated “cooked salad,” a sauce that complements nearly any meal. On the Moroccan Jewish mezze table, matbucha shines as a glistening crimson centerpiece among dips and spreads. It’s also an everyday staple—so beloved that some families affectionately call it “Moroccan ketchup”—and a flavorful foundation for countless dishes.
For New York Shuk’s Culinary Director and Co-Founder Ron Arazi, matbucha was a constant at his Moroccan family table in Israel. His mother’s weekly batches vanished almost instantly. “As soon as the matbucha was ready, she’d fill a few jars—and then we’d gather around the pot with warm challah to scoop up every last bit,” Ron remembers.
Inspired by those family traditions, New York Shuk’s Signature Matbucha starts with iconic Jersey tomatoes and roasted Hatch chiles, brightened with garlic and preserved lemon to highlight their sun-ripened character. The result is a jammy, vibrant spread with just the right touch of heat. For a gentler twist, Matbucha with Olives and Mint adds briny Manzanilla olives, fresh mint, and a hint of turmeric.
New York Shuk's matbuchas bring the spirit of summer to your pantry year-round—delicious straight from the jar and ready to elevate whatever you’re cooking next. This slow-cooked, spicy tomato condiment is destined to become a pantry staple. Rich, savory, and full of depth, it works beautifully as a base for shakshuka, pasta sauces, and stews—or layered onto your favorite sandwich.
Gently simmer eggs in matbucha for a standout shakshuka, or spoon it over pasta—with or without meatballs—for a Moroccan twist on marinara. Swap it in for ketchup to elevate burgers and hot dogs, or simmer fish or chicken directly in matbucha for a rich, satisfying stew with minimal prep.
Use Matbucha as a braising sauce for vegetables like green beans, potatoes, or eggplant; stir it into
lentils, chickpeas, or beans; or spread it generously on sandwiches. For a simple finish, swirl it onto
hummus or labneh just before serving. Don't be surprised if you find yourself eating straight from the
jar with a sleeve of crackers.
However you use it, Matbucha delivers bold flavor from breakfast through dinner. Heat level is considered hot.
