How to Make Beef Tagine With Brussels Sprouts
- Season 1.5 lbs beef stew cubes generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon turmeric and fry for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the beef cubes and brown well on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
- Cover the pot tightly and cook the meat for 15 minutes over low heat in its own juices.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 large chopped onion, and half of 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Add 1 1/2 cups water, re-cover the pot, and simmer the meat gently over low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until very tender. Check periodically and add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
- While the stew simmers, prepare the Brussels sprouts: Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan and add 1 teaspoon salt.
- Blanch 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, for 30 seconds. Drain immediately, then run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well again.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until almost smoking.
- Add the blanched Brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes over high heat until slightly charred and tender-crisp.
- Stir in half the juice of 1 lemon and salt to taste.
- Gently fold the stir-fried Brussels sprouts, the remaining half of the chopped cilantro, and the remaining lemon juice into the beef tagine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately with couscous or crusty bread for a truly authentic experience.
