Matbucha - "cooked salad"
 
This dish was brought to Israel by the new immigrants of North Africa, mainly Morrocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya - although the ingredients change a bit from one ethnicity to the other. A popular version of the Matbucha is the Israeli Shakshouka which is made by cooking it with eggs broken into the centre of the mixture.
