Sephardic Macaroni & Meat Bake


Makaron reynado de karne

Over generations the Jews of Rhodes adapted the much loved Greek macaroni and meat bake ‘pastitio’ with its iconic cheese béchamel sauce. Our ancestor’s kosher version ‘makaron reynado’, combined macaroni with an aromatic meat and tomato sauce then baked with beaten eggs. This tasty casserole with its burnished crusty top is delicious served hot or at room temperature with a tangy salad and tart homemade pickles. Try making makaron reynado over the weekend, it’s perfect for the kid’s packed school lunches – your family will love it!!
