Serves 6-8.

• 6 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup choped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt or 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lb ground beef or lamb, or 8 oz chopped roast beef

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Grease a 9×13″ or 11×7″ baking pan.

2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, parsley, salt, pepper and, if using, turmeric.  In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.  Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, 5-10 minutes.  Add the meat and cook, stirring, until it loses its red color, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir into the potato mixture.

3. Spoon into the prepared pan.  Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
