Preparation: 

Wash and peel the tomatoes. Take out the seeds and chop into pieces. (Never put tomatoes through a vegetable sieve.) Put on to cook in a thick-bottomed saucepan without adding any water. Add salt, 2 chopped onions, the dried meat, khlii fat, paprika and the crushed chilli.

Peel and cut up into small pieces 500g (1 lb 2 oz) of potatoes. Put on one side. When the tomato mixture has been boiling for a few minutes, take out the pieces of khlii and put on one side. Take out a little of the tomato juice and cook the potatoes in it separately adding a very little salt.

Keep a close watch on the tomatoes, stirring frequently, until all the juice has evaporated and the fat separates from the rest. A sort of tomato purée is produced. Add the chopped parsley and the pieces of khlii which were put on one side and the potatoes which were cooked separately. Stir for a few more minutes and remove from the heat. Serve very hot.
