INGREDIENTS

* 2 chopped onions

* 3 garlic cloves (pressed)

* 450 g (1 lb) of minced veal

* 20 ml (4 teaspoons) of Mexico Masala by ohmasala.com

* 400 ml (one 19 oz can) of black turtle beans (rinsed and drained) (CLIC brand is great)

* 6 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 mm (1/16¨) thick slices

* 400 ml (one 19 oz can) of tomato juice

* 120 ml (1/2 cup) of well rinsed and chopped cilantro (corriander) leaves and stems

 

PROCEDURE

 

* Use a medium sized pan with a thick bottom for stove-top cooking,

Or transfer the cooked meat to a pyrex dish if you prefer using the oven.

* Cook the onion in the oil on medium heat until lightly golden.

* Add the garlic, the veal and the Mexico Masala and cook while stirring for a few minutes.

* Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan (or transfer to pyrex dish if you prefer using the oven).

* Add the layer of black turtle beans, and then the tomato juice.

*Then add the layer of sliced potatoes. Press down on the layers to compress a little. The juice should cover the potatoes a little bit.

* Gently bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low heat for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked.

* If you prefer using the oven, cover the pyrex dish with aluminium foil and place in a pre-heated (350*F) oven. Cook for 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked.

* In both cases, uncover at this point and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.

* With the evaporation, the volume of liquid will decrease and the sauce will thicken.

* Serve with freshly chopped cilantro (corriander) on top, and plain yogurt on the side.
