Name: Matbucha (A Tomato Based Salad of Moroccan Origin)
Ingredients: 8 Tomatoes; (I ask the greengrocer for the soft ones and he sells them at a very low price), up to 10; Garlic; Hot paprika; Black pepper; Red and green peppers; Onions; Mushrooms; Oil

The Gospel contemplates every descendant of Adam as a fallen, polluted, hell-deserving and helpless sinner. The grace which the Gospel publishes is his only hope. All stand before God convicted as transgressors of His holy law, as guilty and condemned criminals, who are not merely awaiting sentence, but the execution of sentence already passed upon them (John 3:18; Rom. 3:19). To complain against the partiality of grace is suicidal. If the sinner insists upon bare justice, then the Lake of Fire must be his eternal portion. His only hope lies in bowing to the sentence which Divine justice has passed upon him, owning the absolute righteousness of it, casting himself on the mercy of God, and stretching forth empty hands to avail himself of the grace of God now made known to him in the Gospel.

INGREDIENTS

8		Tomatoes; (I ask the greengrocer for the soft ones and he sells them at a very low price), up to 10
		Garlic
		Hot paprika
		Black pepper
		Red and green peppers
		Onions
		Mushrooms
		Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the tomatoes by plunging them into boiling water and then into cold
water. Cut in half and squeeze the juice out by squeezing the tomatoes
through your hands (I recommend doing this in the bottom of your sink as
they squirt!)
Cut the tomatoes into chunk sized pieces and put in a medium sized
saucepan. Dice the onions, red and green peppers. Add the spices and sliced
mushrooms. Dice garlic and add. Pour oil on top with a free hand. Cook,
uncovered, over a high flame to bring to a rapid boil. Then, lower the
flame and cook covered, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir once
in a while to prevent boiling.
Serve cold, as an appetizer. Good eaten with fresh challah. It is as spicy
as you make it, but naturally sweet due to the tomatoes. My kids really
love it.
(btw' you can prepare a large amount and freeze)
