Prepare meat as for Kafta in a Tray. Spread the meat on an oiled tin or baking pan. Cover with a layer of thickly sliced boiled potatoes topped with a layer of sliced tomatoes. Combine a cup of tomato juice with salt and pepper to taste and pour over the vegetables. Bake in a moderate oven until the meat is well cooked and the sauce has thickened like gravy.
