Sudanese Maschi

Ingredients:

900 g minced beef

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

4 tbsp chopped fresh dill

2 tbsp salad oil

200 g cooked rice

8 firm, large tomatoes slit halfway across the centre

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp oil

360 ml tomato paste

360 ml water

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp garlic powder

Green olives

Cooking Instructions:

Fry the beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder and dill in the salad oil until the meat browns then add the rice and mix well. Meanwhile squeeze the tomatoes to open the slit in them and scoop-out the flesh with a spoon. Melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan and fry the tomatoes in the fat, rolling them constantly until they become dark red on all sides. Remove the tomatoes along with the oil and place in a casserole dish. Combine the tomato paste and water along with the salt, cinnamon, garlic and garlic powder. Stuff the tomatoes with the meat mixture and cover with the tomato paste. Simmer gently until the sauce has cooked and transfer to a platter. Surround with sliced raw tomatoes and top each slice with green olives.
