👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a large baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches or similar capacity).
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the ground beef mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Egyptian spices. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a tablespoon of oil.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Slice all the vegetables (zucchini, potatoes, and tomatoes) into uniform 1/2-inch thick rounds. This ensures even cooking.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Assemble the casserole: Arrange a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the ground beef mixture, spreading it evenly. Follow with a layer of zucchini slices, then the remaining ground beef mixture. Finish with a layer of tomato slices on top. Press down gently to compact the layers.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 5
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the top layer of vegetables. If using, add the water or beef broth around the edges of the dish for extra moisture.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 7
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the top is lightly browned and bubbling. The exact time will depend on your oven and the thickness of your vegetable slices.
⏱️ 30-45 minutes - 8
Let the torly rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to serve.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes
