DAFINA
1 cup chickpeas which have been
soaked in water overnight
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon mace
1 entire head garlic
1 onion, sliced
1 4-pound top rib, breast of beef, or
brisket
1 pound ground meat
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
10 eggs
1 beef tongue (optional)
2 cups rice, uncooked
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 to 7 yams or sweet potatoes,

10 to 12 whole potatoes, peeled
4 to 6 dates, pitted

Using a large 9-quart casserole with a
tight-fitting lid, place the chickpeas

pepper and add turmeric and mace.
----/
Place the garlic cloves, onion, and
brisket on top of the chickpeas.
Sprinkle again with salt and pepper.
Combine the ground meat, sugar,
cinnamon, cloves, and 2 eggs and
form into a meat loaf. Cover tightly
with aluminum foil and place next to
the meat. If using tongue, place that
in with the rest of the meat.
Put the rice loosely in cheesecloth
and close tightly. Place on top of the
meat. Pour the oil over the rice. Sur-
round the rice with the yams or sweet
potatoes, the white potatoes, the dates,
and the remaining 8 eggs. Sprinkle
again with salt and pepper. Add water

serve. Place the vegetables in one dish,
the meat in another, the rice in a
third, and the broth in a fourth, as a
soup course. Serves 8 to 10. 0
