Sephardi and Mizrahi dishes
Sephardim are a subgroup of Jews originating in the Iberian Peninsula ( modern Spain and Portugal ) . After being expelled from Spain and Portugal , they resettled in the Mediterranean basin , most prominently in Turkey , Greece , Morocco and Algeria . Mizrahim is an umbrella term for the Judeo-Arabic and Judeo-Persian speaking Jewish communities from the Middle East , North Africa and Central Asia . Although Mizrahi Jews are not descended from the Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula , they are also called Sephardi to contrast them to the Ashkenazi culture and religious rites . As in the case of Ashkenazi cuisine , the place of birth of the recipes of the Sephardi and Mizrahi cuisine is generally uncertain .
