Below is a great recipe that can be made in one of those little guvech clay pots. It also works great in a nice baking dish. Don't be affraid of the yogurt and egg mixture that you place on top. It doesn't add much flavor but does have a nice texture. Let me know how you like it!

5-6 medium to large potatoes
1 container (1 1/2 cups) yogurt
5 medium tomatoes or 1 1/2 cups peeled, canned tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups ground meat
1 tablespoon oregano/savory
2 small to medium onions
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
3 eggs
3/4 cup water or tomato juice


Brown the meat and onions. Don’t drain. Peel and dice potatoes and place in a baking dish (large rectangular or round pan). Grate fresh tomatoes (or chop canned) and add to potatoes. Add browned meat and pieces and then pour water or tomato juice over all. Mix and bake at 200 C until potatoes are tender (about 45-60 minutes). While it’s baking, mix eggs and yogurt. At the end of the baking, pour yogurt mixture over the top and bake another 10 minutes or until top is set or very lightly browned.
