Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Potatoes
- 500 g Ground beef
- 1 large Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Allspice
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel and slice the potatoes into 1 cm thick rounds, then set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent discoloration.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Finely chop the onion and sauté it until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of allspice, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste with 1.5 cups of water and stir to make a smooth sauce.
Grease a large oven-safe tray or casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Drain the sliced potatoes and arrange half of them in a single layer at the bottom of the tray. Lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the potato layer.
Top the beef with the remaining sliced potatoes, arranging them neatly. Sprinkle with a little more salt.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and layer them over the top layer of potatoes.
Pour the prepared tomato paste mixture evenly over the tray, ensuring it covers all the layers.
Dot the top with butter for added richness.
Cover the tray tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the dish warm with crusty bread or a side salad.
