LETS' GO....
--------------Preparation of the stuffing-----------------------
Put in a small casserole the meat, the onions, the two chopped tomatoes,
the oil, wine, a glass of water, salt and pepper. Cook it for about one hour in low
heat. When you see that the meat is done, and there is no more juice in it, put the
parsley and cook it for a few more minutes.
-------------Preparation of makaroni---------------------------
Put a lot of water and some salt in a big casserole. Boil it well and then put the
package of makaroni in it. You can divide makaroni in half before putting them in the
casserole. Cook them for about 5 minutes. **Don't cook them to be done because
they will be cooked in the oven at the end.**
When the makaroni is ready, take them out of water and leave them for a while until
they cool down. Add the two eggs' white (well bitten with a small mixer).
(Hint: if you want the makaroni to cool down quickly, put them under the tap of cold
water) . Mix the makaroni, beaten eggs' white , mint and some cheese.
Then take pan or pyrex 37x23x10 cm or a round one of 30cm. Lightly grease the pan
with a little oil and flour. Then put the half of the makaroni in it. Put the cooked
meat on top and then the other half of makaroni. On the top put the mbeciamell
cream.
------------------Mbeciamell cream
-------------------------------Boil 6 cups of milk in a casserole.
Put the half glass of oil in another casserole and leave it boil (not burning).
Then add the flour very very slowly in the hot oil and keep beating it well for a few
minutes. It must be like a cream.
When the flour is done, pour the hot milk in the mixture of flour and oil but be
careful to beat it very fast. Beat it until you see it like a cream. Then beat the two
eggs' yolks with a spoonful of water. Add the eggs in the cream together with salt
and pepper and beat it for some more minutes.
Pour the cream on the top of makaroni.
Then add some cheese on the top of the cream. Then pour half glass of water
on the top but be carefull not to destroy the cream.
Bake at a low heat in the oven (180Celsius or less) for about one hour or
until you see the top of the cream to be somehow red.
GOOD LUCK
