Jewish, Africa, Egypt 8 Matzohs, broken into 3" Pieces 2 Eggs, beaten
2 T Corn oil 1 lb Cooked chicken or beef, cut Into small cubes 1 c
Onions, chopped 1/4 t Allspice 1/4 t Pepper 1 t Salt 1/8 t Nutmeg,
grated 1 lb Potatoes, peeled and Quartered 2 Eggs, beaten 1/4 t Salt
1/8 t Pepper Lemon wedges  Moisten the matzoh in warm water for a few
minutes to soften them and  gently press out the excess liquid. Oil a
1-1/2 quart, heatproof  glass or metal baking dish. Dip the matzoh
pieces into the first 2  beaten eggs and lay them in baking dish in an
orderly layer. In a  skillet, heat the oil. Add the meat, onions,
allspice, pepper, salt,  and nutmeg. Stir-fry over moderate heat for 3
minutes. Spread the  mixture over the matzoh in the baking dish. In a
pan, boil the  potatoes in water until soft but still firm. In a
processor, puree  the potatoes and spread the puree over the meat
layer. Poke 8 holes  about 1" deep in the puree. In a bowl, beat the
remaining 2 eggs with  the salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the
potato puree. Bake in  preheated, 375 degree F. over for 1/2 hour.
Serve hot, cut into generous squares, with wedges of lemon. Makes 6  to
8 servings.  VARIATION:  Mayeena may be prepare as a dairy dish. Simply
replace  the meat with 2 cups (1 pound) of cottage cheese mixed with 1
cup  grated yellow cheddar cheese. Scatter this over the matzoh in the
baking dish and cover with the potato puree and egg.  Bake in a
preheated, 375 degree over for 1/2 hour.  Passover food is limiting but
the Egyptian Jews have artfully  concocted a mayeena that conforms to
the Passover ritual for both  dairy and meat occasions.  Nutritional
