Ingredients
  • Olive oil just enough to wet the bottom of your pan
  • 1/2 kilo veal cut in servings (for those of you who like meat, increase quantity)
  • 1 medium size onion, grated
  • 1 kilo of ripe fresh tomatoes or 400 gr., of tinned whole tomatoes in juice
  • 2 spoonfuls of ketchup
  • salt, pepper
  • 500 gr. of pasta (kritharaki) small pasta looks like big rice
  • ½ piece of cinnamon stick

Directions
  1. Have the tomatoes blended in the Multi blender. Wash and strain the meat. In a saucepan heat oil and sauté the meat on both sides and onion and sauté as well. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, tomato juice and 1 glass of water and cook for ½ hour in the pressure cooker after the valve turns. Preheat oven at 180o and when the meat is cooked put into a Pyrex and add two glasses of water. When the sauce is warn put in the pasta and stir occasionally for 15 – 20 minutes. Serve while warm with Feta cheese.
  2. SMALL SECRETS:
  3. Fresh tomatoes are pealed easily if we put them in hot water for a few seconds and then we blend them in the Multi.
  4. The easiest way to grate the onion is to do it in the Multi with a little oil. This way we save time, effort and avoid tears. Don’t make it look like cream. A few spins are enough.
  5. Put hot water in pyrex, you gain about 10 minutes’ time.
  6. Meat: Use point stake, it’s more tender.
  7. Bon Appetite!!!!
