1.  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.
2.  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.
3. 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.
4.  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.
