On Saturday, I presented the following dishes for a cooking demonstration using tajines at D.A. Niels. I'll be there again on December 5th to give another tajine cooking demonstration.
The photo with the eggs was at the beginning of cooking. Cooking eggs in the tajine whole results in a creamy egg. Quite remarkable! One person tried the beef tajine recipe using my Ras el Hanout with Moose meat! He loved the result. My spice blends of Ras el Hanout, Turkish Baharat and Tea Masala, are all available at D.A. Niels.
Come and see me at the Downtown Hydro Market on Thursday, November 12th, for more cooking ideas and products!

Moroccan Beef Stew
(can use lamb)
2 lb beef roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tbs ras el hanout
1-2 tbs olive oil
1-2 tbs butter
good pinch saffron
2 large tomatoes, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 green peppers, seeded and diced
1/2 - 1 cup prunes
2-3 tbs honey
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup red wine
salt, to taste
Slowly sauté onions on medium-low heat with olive oil until they begin to caramelize. Stir in Ras el Hanout spice blend. Turn up heat to medium-high and add butter and saffron. Brown meat well on all sides and add tomatoes and other vegetables. Add broth, prunes and honey. Add red wine and salt and let simmer for 1-2 hours, depending on using the tajine and toughness of the meat. Meat should melt in your mouth when done.
Serve with flat breads, rice, couscous or bulgur.
