Macaroni, chicken, tomato paste, potatoes, hard boiled eggs
Macaroni Hamin (Hamin Macaroni in Hebrew) is a traditional Sephardic Jerusalemite dish originally from the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.[citation needed] It consists of macaroni, chicken, potatoes and spices. Traditionally Macaroni Hamin is slow-cooked overnight before Shabbat.[1] Similar to other dishes prepared in communities of Jewish Sephardic and Iraqi origin haminados eggs can be added.[citation needed] Macaroni Hamin is still eaten by Sephardic Jews who have origins inside the Old City of Jerusalem.
Preparation
The dish is made with pre-cooked bucatini pasta, cooked chicken pieces, potato slices, and a sauce of onions, tomato paste, and seasonings simmered in chicken fat. It is cooked slowly in water with whole eggs in the shell for at least 6 hours, usually baked overnight, and traditionally served for Shabbat.[1]
