Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small bowl add all the seasonings and mix well.
  • Chop up the beef into bite sized chunks and remove any fatty bits. Rub the seasoning into the beef and place the beef in the fridge for an hour.
  • Peel and finely cut the onion and the garlic. Place them in the tajine with the olive oil and cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes or until the onion softens. Add the beef and fry for a further 5 minutes or until the beef is sealed.
  • In a blender mix together the tinned tomatoes, vegetable stock, prunes, tomato puree and drained chickpeas. Add them to your tajine. Bring it to the boil and once it has come to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel, deseed and chop up the butternut squash and add to the tajine.
  • Give it a stir, add the lid and cook for a further 90 minutes on a medium heat.
  • Add in some small pieces of red chilli peppers and some black olives.
  • Serve with warm crusty bread.

Notes

If it is too thick add a little water or some more vegetable stock to thin it out a little.
 
You don’t have to blend the chickpeas and prunes but blended it gives it a lovely thick and creamy flavour.
 
You don’t need a thickener (such as Bisto) because it will naturally thicken on its own thanks to the Tajine.
We have found the best place to source stewing beef to make Best Ever Moroccan Beef Tajine is from ButcherBox. You even receive free bacon and $10 off your first order when you sign up with this link.
 
For the best beef stock in your recipes I would recommend Kettle & Fire. Unfortunately they are not available in the UK so if you are UK based I would use OXO cubes.
