Baharat Beef Tagine

This is a great recipe. Very tasty, very simple. This was cooked up in a 35cm tagine and serves about 4 people.



Ingredients

800gms Gravy Beef cubed
2 TB Baharat Spice mix
½ TB Harissa Spice (optional – this just adds a little spice to the dish)
½ an eggplant cubed
1 clove of garlic crushed and roughly chopped
1 onion diced
2 vine ripened tomatoes roughly chopped
1 TB chopped parsley
Salt & pepper to taste
3 slices of lemon
Olive Oil
Chicken stock (alternatively use white wine) – just enough to cover the base of the tagine (about ½ cup)


Method

Mix the spices with enough olive oil to form a paste (I used about 2TB).
Place the beef in the tagine and mix in the spice paste to combine.
Mix in the garlic and onion.
Place the eggplant on top of the beef.
Next place the tomatoes on.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and place the lemon slices round the top of the parsley.
Season with salt and pepper.
Pour in enough stock or wine to cover the base of the tagine.
Place your lid on. Put on coal burner or gas stove at low heat and let cook for about 2 hours (or till meat is tender).
Serve with cous cous or rice.
