Moroccan Beef and Honey Tagine image

This is virtually the same recipe as French Tart's #1919460, (so I'm not claiming it as my own!) Having cooked it several times with a slightly smaller quantity, I've changed the quantities of ingredients just a little over time to suit the smaller size and my taste (and the fact that I can't find a 9 ounce tin of tomatoes). Also, to save confusing myself when using the Recipezaar conversion, I've done it in metric.

Time 9h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 kg stewing beef, cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 medium carrots, peeled & cut into chunks
1 (400 g) can tomatoes, diced
120 g dates, pitted and whole
120 g prunes, pitted and whole
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups beef stock
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tablespoons ras el hanout spice mix
salt and pepper
40 g toasted sliced almonds
1 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat half the olive oil in a large pan or wok and quickly brown the onion quarters over a high heat until charred and coloured well. (Break them up as you're doing this.).
  • Add the carrots and the chopped garlic and stir fry for another 3 minutes. Tip carrots and onions into the tagine (or crock pot).
  • Add the tinned tomatoes, dates and prunes to the tagine/crock pot and mix well.
  • Add the honey and ras el hanout to the beef stock, stir well and add to the tagine/crock pot. Mix well, then add the cinnamon stick.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan in which the onions were cooked and cook the beef cubes in small batches over high heat to sear and seal them. As each batch is browned, add the beef to the tagine or crock pot.
  • When all the beef is browned and in the tagine or crock pot, season with salt and pepper to taste. Ensure everything is just covered with the stock (if not add a little water). Mix well and slow cook for about 9 hours.
  • When ready to serve, garnish with fresh coriander and toasted almonds.
  • Serve on fluffy cous cous.

This tagine is a great way to introduce your family to Moroccan cuisine. It's flavorful and exotic, but not too spicy.

I've made this tagine with both beef and lamb. Both versions are delicious, but I think I prefer the lamb version a little bit more.

This tagine is a great way to use up leftover beef. I often make it after a holiday dinner when I have a lot of leftover roast beef.

I love that this tagine can be made in the slow cooker. It's so easy to just throw everything in the pot and let it cook all day.

The honey-almond sauce is the perfect finishing touch for this tagine. It's sweet, nutty, and savory all at the same time.

The beef in this tagine is fall-apart tender. I love serving it with couscous or rice.

The flavors in this tagine are amazing. The sweetness of the honey, the nuttiness of the almonds, and the savory spices all come together perfectly.

I love how easy this tagine is to make. I can throw it all in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious dinner waiting for me when I get home from work.

This tagine was a hit with my family! The beef was so tender and flavorful, and the honey-almond sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
