About Mafrum

Mafrum is a traditional Libyan-Jewish dish consisting of sliced vegetables, often potatoes, stuffed with a savory mixture of ground beef or lamb, onions, and parsley. The stuffed vegetables are coated in flour and egg, fried until golden, and then slow-cooked in a rich tomato-based sauce. This comforting dish is typically served with couscous or bread, making it a hearty meal. Mafrum offers a good source of protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables, but it can also be high in fat due to frying and the use of fatty cuts of meat. To make it lighter, some recipes substitute leaner meats or oven-bake the stuffed vegetables instead of frying. Rich in flavor and history, Mafrum reflects the unique blend of North African and Mediterranean culinary traditions.
