About Matazeez
Matazeez is a Saudi dish of small wholewheat dough rounds in a meat and vegetable stew. Qassimy publishes Mashaal Al-Turifi’s rendition as an old popular dish associated with cold weather.
Tomato, onion, cumin, turmeric and dried black lime give the stew its savoury, earthy and tangy seasoning. Vegetables and red chillies accompany the dough pieces, with a separate onion topping.
The small rounds retain their shape within the substantial stew. This named rendition includes the source’s offered toasted flour-and-butter thickener, with an optional apricot-paste addition and an onion topping.
