Mayeena (matzoh & potato bake)

Yield: 1 Servings MMM

Ingredients:

• 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

Instructions:

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.
