BEEF TAGINE
I like to think of a tagine as a sort of stew with attitude. It's really all about the spices and the slow cooking, giving all the wonderful flavours time to develop. What's great is that you don't need an authentic Moroccan tagine in order to recreate this beautiful food - a saucepan will still give you great results. Having been to Marrakesh and learnt all the principles, I now feel I'll be able to rustle up an endless variety of tagines at home. Give this one a try and you'll see what I mean.

Steps:
- Serving suggestion: Lightly seasoned couscous.
- To make the spice rub: Mix the ras el hanout, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl. Put the beef into a large bowl, massage it with the spice rub, then cover with plastic wrap or clingfilm and put into the refrigerator for a couple of hours-ideally overnight. That way the spices really penetrate and flavour the meat. When you're ready to cook, heat a generous lug of olive oil in a tagine or casserole-type pan and fry the meat over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the chopped onion and coriander (cilantro) stalks and fry for another 5 minutes. Tip in the chickpeas and tomatoes, then pour in 1 3/4 cups/400 ml stock and stir. Bring to the boil, then put the lid on the pan or cover with foil and reduce to a simmer for 1 1/2 hours. At this point add your squash, the prunes and the rest of the stock. Give everything a gentle stir, then pop the lid back on the pan and continue cooking for another 1 1/2 hours. Keep an eye on it and add a splash of water if it looks too dry. Once the time is up, take the lid off and check the consistency. If it seems a bit too runny, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more with the lid off. The beef should be really tender and flaking apart now, so have a taste and season with a pinch or 2 of salt. Scatter the coriander (cilantro) leaves over the tagine along with the toasted almonds, then take it straight to the table with a big bowl of lightly seasoned couscous and dive in.
BEEF AND PRUNE TAGINE
We had this quite often during our trips to Morocco. The actual recipe is one I adapted after we came home but I think it's pretty close to what you'd get in Morocco if you went there on holiday. Serve with rice or couscous.

Steps:
- Put the butter and oil in a large saucepan.
- When the butter is melted, put in the spices, coriander and onion.
- Let fry for 30 seconds, then add the beef and stir well to coat.
- Cover the meat with a cup of water and the saffron mixture.
- The water should be just over halfway up the meat.
- Bring to the boil and then lower to a gentle simmer.
- Add half the prunes and cook for 1-1/2 hours until the meat becomes tender and juicy.
- Keep the pot mostly covered during this time -- the only time I lift the cover is for a few seconds if the heat builds too much and it starts to boil. You need to keep this dish at a very low simmer.
- Add remaining prunes along with the honey, salt and pepper.
- Simmer for another 30 minutes or until the meat is tender and the liquid has thickened and reduced.
- Serve with the sesame seeds and almonds on top.
BEEF TAGINE (USING PRUNE JUICE) AND COUSCOUS
The flavour is sensational and it is simple to make. This version of beef tagine is from an English cookbook (50 ways with Beef) with my one small change in that I cook it slowly in an iron pot on the stove top. Simmering gently really brings out the flavour of all the ingredients.
