When it comes to authentic Moroccan cuisine, you cannot go wrong with delectable beef tagine. Tagine has been described as a “stew with attitude” and is best when the spices and Mediterranean flavors develop over a few hours. The tagine is an earthenware pot, which cooks food and blends flavors over a fire. While chicken and lamb tagines are the most popular, beef tagine is a delicious and flavorful dish that never disappoints.
The Delectable Beef Tagine
With tagine, the spice blend is a large part of the flavor, so before you start cooking, prepare a spice rub. While you may use any spices you like, for beef tagine, try sea salt, fresh black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and paprika and mix in a large bowl. Once you have a spice rub you enjoy, place your beef in the bowl and massage it with the spice rub, then cover it, and place in the fridge for a couple hours or more so the spices can flavor the meat.
Now that the meat is flavorful, put olive oil in a tagine, and place over an open flame. When the meat starts to cook, add chopped onion, chickpeas, tomatoes, and 400mL of vegetable stock. Cover the tagine and let it simmer for a an hour and a half. Be sure your flame is not as hot as it was when you started cooking. A light simmer is perfect for tagine. After some time, add squash and another 400mL of stock and then allow it to continue cooking for ninety minutes, checking it sporadically. If it looks dry, add a little bit of water.
After the cooking time, check the tagine. The beef should be very tender and flaking apart. Feel free to add a splash of salt and serve the tagine over seasoned couscous. You are now ready for an incredible meal.
