Saluf (yemenite Spiced Beef And Potato Pie)
Saluf is a traditional Yemenite dish that consists of spiced beef and potatoes baked in a savory pie crust. This hearty and flavorful dish is a staple in Mizrahi Jewish cuisine, and it's perfect for a comforting family meal or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 package of store-bought pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a pie dish with one of the pie crusts. Pour the beef and potato mixture into the pie crust.
- Place the second pie crust on top of the filling and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
- Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
