Preparation
:
Peel and grate the onions. Pare the tomatoes, scoop
out the seeds and dice.
Kebab
:
Put the margarine and grated onions in a saucepan
and saute over moderate heat. Add the meat and saute
with the onions for 3-4 minutes until golden. Cover
and cook until the meat absorbs the water while stirring
occasionaly. Season with 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
and salt. Add the tomatoes or the tomato paste and
2-2 1/2 glasses of hot water, and simmer until the
meat is tender. Check occasionally for water and add
water if necessary.
Eggplant
Puree :
Put the butter and flour in a small saucepan, place
over moderate heat and saute for 2 minutes making
sure that the flour doesn't turn golden. Set aside.
Grill the eggplants on strong coal or gas heat, burning
the skins. Peel the skins of eggplants and blanch
them in a bowl containing lemon juice. After blanching
for 15 minutes, remove the eggplants from lemon juice
and press them with the hand to drain. Put the eggplants
in the flour one by one and blend them well with a
fork. Place the saucepan on heat, add 1 tablespoon
of salt and add 1/5 glasses of hot milk, and blend
them well by beating rapidly. Continue beating until
the eggplant mixture becomes a dens paste. Add the
grated kashar stir well and remove from heat.
When both the kebab and the puree are ready, place
puree on serving dish, put the meat decoratively in
the middle and serve hot.
Kashar is a sheep sheese similar to Cheddar or Kashkavale
available in Jewish stores.
