Baghdad Beef Stew image

One of my most-requested recipes! Serve over egg pastina pasta. It's the same as couscous but much less expensive! If it's too thick for you, add more water when reheating.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
1 (17 ounce) can figs, drained (reserve juice) and chopped
1 ¾ cups water, or as needed
1 cup sliced carrots
¾ cup sliced onion

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually serve it over rice, but it's also good with mashed potatoes or noodles.
