This Moroccan tagine is easy to make with the frozen artichoke bottoms from Egypt and frozen skinned fava beans (both really good) available in Middle Eastern stores.

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds shoulder of lamb, cut into large pieces
2 onions, sliced
4 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon saffron
Two 14-ounce packages frozen artichoke bottoms, defrosted
Two 7-ounce packages frozen skinned fava beans, defrosted
Juice of 1/2-1 lemon
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 preserved lemon peel (page 459), cut into strips (optional if garnish)

Steps:

  • Put the meat with the onions, butter or oil, salt, pepper, ginger, and saffron in a pan and cook, turning over the meat, for about 5 minutes. Cover with water and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender, adding water if it becomes too dry. Remove the lid and reduce the sauce at the end.
  • Add the artichoke bottoms, fava beans, and lemon juice and cook 10 minutes, until the artichokes are tender. Add the cilantro and cook 1 or 2 minutes more.
  • Serve hot, garnished if you like, with the preserved lemon peel.
  • For an Egyptian beef stew with fresh green fava beans: Sauté 1 pound fresh or frozen (and defrosted) beans in 3 tablespoons vegetable oil with 1 pound cubed stewing beef until lightly browned. Add 2 whole garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, salt, and pepper, and cover with water. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
