Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot, parsnip and tomato into bite-sized chunks. Cut onion into wedges. Finely chop garlic. • Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Little cooks: Kids can help peel off the onion's outer layer (we recommend wearing goggles to avoid onion tears!).
• In medium bowl, combine ras el hanout, the plain flour, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Add diced beef and toss to coat. • In a large ovenproof saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef, tossing once, until browned, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add garlic, tomato paste and chermoula spice blend and stir until fragrant, 1 minute.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook the beef in batches to ensure it browns and doesn't stew.
TIP: Add extra oil between batches if necessary.
• To the pan with the beef, stir in onion, tomato, carrot, parsnip, beef-style stock powder, diced dried dates (see ingredients) and water (for the beef). Season.
Little cooks: Kids can help out with measuring the water.
• Cover saucepan with a lid or tightly with foil. Bake in oven, until beef is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes-2 hours.
TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof saucepan, transfer mixture to a baking dish instead!
• When the tagine has 5 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. • In medium heatproof bowl, place couscous, vegetable stock powder and the butter. Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
Little cooks: Kids can help fluff up the couscous!
• Divide couscous between bowls, then top with slow-cooked beef and veggie tagine. • Garnish with almonds and tear over herbs. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the garnish!
