1 cup chopped parsley

1 onion, finely chopped

4 potatoes

2 large tomatoes, sliced

1 onion sliced

1 tbsp tomato paste

salt, seven spices

Mix the minced meat with chopped parsley and chopped onion in a food processor (or you can take it ready from the butcher if he knows how).

Season with 1 small tsp salt and 1/2 tsp seven spices.

Mix the meat by hand very well, take a small hand full and make a ball shape with it and flatten it then place it on a slightly greased oven tray.

Preheat the oven to 390 F (200 C).

When all the meat is ready, place the tray in the oven for about twenty minutes, making sure to turn it over halfway through.

In the meantime, peel the potatoes and cut them into slices then place into frying pan with oil; remove and drain when golden.

Place the potatoes over the meat, then sliced onions and tomatoes on top.

In a small bowl mix the tomato paste with about 2 cups of water, and season with salt and seven spices then place it over the meat and the potatoes in the tray.

Cover the tray with aluminium foil and place it in hot oven for 20 minutes.

Remove the foil and keep it in the oven for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens
