Arap Tava

Arab Meat & Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 4 Potatoes, diced
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 1 Tomatoes, diced
• ½ Onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, crushed
• ¹/₃ Tomato Sauce
• 1 T. Sweet Red Pepper Paste
• 1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• ¼ tsp. Black Pepper
• ½ tsp. Cumin
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 2 T. Olive Oil
• 1 T. Butter
• ½ c. Water

Directions:

1. Mix together all diced Potatoes, Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions & Garlic. (Note: I like to dice the potatoes and put them directly in a bowl of cold water, then prep all of my other veggies before straining the potatoes and adding them. This keeps them from browning and pulls out some excess starch.)
2. Use your hands to knead in Ground Beef, Tomato Sauce, Pepper Paste and Seasonings. Once well kneaded, mix with veggie mixture.
3. Spread mixture in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Cut a few pieces of Butter on top.
5. Garnish with red and green pepper slices if desired.
6. Pour Oil & Water on top.
7. Bake at 395^oF for 45-55 minutes.

Note: this dish is delicious served along with Nohutlu Bulgur Pilavı and Renkli Marul Salatası.
