Beef and Prune Tagine image

We had this quite often during our trips to Morocco. The actual recipe is one I adapted after we came home but I think it's pretty close to what you'd get in Morocco if you went there on holiday. Serve with rice or couscous.

Time 2h20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
250 g stewing beef, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 teaspoon saffron, soaked in
2 tablespoons boiling water
200 g stoned prunes
1 tablespoon clear honey
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
10 almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Put the butter and oil in a large saucepan.
  • When the butter is melted, put in the spices, coriander and onion.
  • Let fry for 30 seconds, then add the beef and stir well to coat.
  • Cover the meat with a cup of water and the saffron mixture.
  • The water should be just over halfway up the meat.
  • Bring to the boil and then lower to a gentle simmer.
  • Add half the prunes and cook for 1-1/2 hours until the meat becomes tender and juicy.
  • Keep the pot mostly covered during this time -- the only time I lift the cover is for a few seconds if the heat builds too much and it starts to boil. You need to keep this dish at a very low simmer.
  • Add remaining prunes along with the honey, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer for another 30 minutes or until the meat is tender and the liquid has thickened and reduced.
  • Serve with the sesame seeds and almonds on top.

This was my first time making tagine and it was a success! The beef was tender and the prunes were plump and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

I was skeptical about the prune combination at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. The prunes added a subtle sweetness that complemented the beef beautifully.

This tagine was a fantastic blend of sweet and savory flavors. The beef was fall-apart tender and the prunes added a lovely richness. I served it over couscous and it was a perfect meal.
