Matbukha is a Maghreb appetizer made from baked vegetables that was brought to Israel by Jews from Morocco. In the world, matbukha is less known than, for example, falafel or hummus, for one reason only: matbukha is usually not eaten just like that, but is used as a base for shakshuka, a much more popular Israeli fried egg, carefully breaking a couple of eggs into the thickness of the vegetables and sending everything together to the oven. But Ilya Cherkashin, the chef of the Levantine restaurant, believes that matbukha is good even without eggs: you can simply spread this spicy vegetable caviar on a piece of good village bread.
