Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
SEPHARDIC COOKING; MARK
MATZOH
POTATOES
GARNISH
Directions:
Jewish, Africa, Egypt
8 Matzohs, broken into 3" Pieces
2 Eggs, beaten
2 T Corn oil
1 lb Cooked chicken or beef, cut Into small cubes
1 c Onions, chopped
1/4 t Allspice
1/4 t Pepper
1 t Salt
1/8 t Nutmeg, grated
1 lb Potatoes, peeled and Quartered
2 Eggs, beaten
1/4 t Salt
1/8 t Pepper Lemon wedges
1. Moisten the matzoh in warm water for a few minutes to soften them
and gently press out the excess liquid. Oil a 1-1/2 quart, heatproof
glass or metal baking dish. Dip the matzoh pieces into the first 2
beaten eggs and lay them in baking dish in an orderly layer.
2. In a skillet, heat the oil. Add the meat, onions, allspice,
pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Stir-fry over moderate heat for 3 minutes.
Spread the mixture over the matzoh in the baking dish.
3. In a pan, boil the potatoes in water until soft but still firm. In
a processor, puree the potatoes and spread the puree over the meat
layer. Poke 8 holes about 1" deep in the puree.
4. In a bowl, beat the remaining 2 eggs with the salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture over the potato puree. Bake in preheated, 375 degree
F. over for 1/2 hour.
Serve hot, cut into generous squares, with wedges of lemon. Makes 6
to 8 servings.
VARIATION: Mayeena may be prepare as a dairy dish. Simply replace
the meat with 2 cups (1 pound) of cottage cheese mixed with 1 cup
grated yellow cheddar cheese. Scatter this over the matzoh in the
baking dish and cover with the potato puree and egg.
Bake in a preheated, 375 degree over for 1/2 hour.
Passover food is limiting but the Egyptian Jews have artfully
concocted a mayeena that conforms to the Passover ritual for both
dairy and meat occasions.
