Directions
Fragrant Moroccan Beef, Date, Honey and Prune Tagine – Crock Pot, Tender chunks of beef simmered in a fragrant & fruity broth enriched with honey – a traditional Moroccan tagine at it’s best! I cook mine in a traditional tagine & an electric tagine; but I realise that not everyone has one, so I have also tested this out in my crock pot; it works REALLY well and is better when cooking larger quantities. The meat becomes meltingly tender and the fruity & spicy smell transports you immediately to Morocco……..on a magic carpet maybe?? Yes, I am waxing lyrical I know – but this tagine is a real winner. It’s not particularly seasonal, but I do think that the colder autumn & winter months are a good time to indulge in this North African comfort dish!, I have a cast and enamel tagine. What oven temp and how long to I cook?, Absolutely delicious! used apricots instead of dates. A real hit.
