How to Make Beef And Prunes A La Tajine Tagine

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your tagine over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt completely.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, browned on all sides.
  4. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, a pinch of saffron threads, and 1 tablespoon ras el hanout spice.
  5. Top with 1 large chopped onion and 12 oz frozen spring vegetables (snow peas, baby potatoes, broccoli, carrots).
  6. Cover the tagine and cook for 1 hour on low heat (stovetop), 325°F (oven), or over indirect medium heat (grill).
  7. After 1 hour, check the moisture level. If needed, carefully add 1/2 cup of hot water to prevent cracking the tagine. Continue cooking.
  8. Continue cooking for an additional hour, or until the beef is tender.
  9. Add 1/2 cup pitted prunes.
  10. Cook for another 10 minutes to allow the prunes to soften and meld with the flavors.
  11. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional).
  12. Serve hot with couscous or rice.
