From The New Book of Middle Eastern Food by Claudia Roden. Everything in that cookbook is delicious and this is one of my favorites. I've increased the amount of pine nuts because I love them! Ingredients:
2 lbs mealy potatoes |
salt |
ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup milk |
1 large onion, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 tablespoons pine nuts |
Directions:
1. Boil potatoes till done.
2. Peel and mash them with the salt, pepper, cinnamon, butter and milk.
3. Saute onions in olive oil till browned, adding pine nuts toward the end so they get toasted.
4. Serve the potatoes hot, spread flat on a platter and topped with the onion pine nut mixture.
