• a piece of butter
• kafta
• about 1 lb potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced, about 1/4 inch thick
• about 1-3/4 lb (about 5 or 6 small) red tomatoes, thinly sliced
• salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons water
Preparation
• Preheat the oven to 400 F and grease the bottom and sides of a medium deep baking dish with a little butter.
• Pinch off a handful of meat, flatten it between your palms to a
thickness of about 3/4 inch and lay on the baking dish, starting from
the edge.
• Take another handful of meat, flatten and lay next to the first piece,
• Smooth together with your fingers and continue lining the baking dish with the kafta until you finish it.
• Spread the raw potato slices over the meat, sprinkle with salt to taste,
• Cover with the tomato slices,
• Sprinkle with more salt to taste,
• Add the water and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Serve hot.
Additional Notes
Its a good idea to have multiple pans going at one time to make the cook ... otherwise the 2 hours could turn into a half a day. :)
