Course 1 meal a day, Family Meals
Servings 6 adults

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg gravy beef
  • 4 TBSP Moroccan spice blend or use the recipe below
  • 3 large carrots cut into thick chunks
  • 2 onions cut into wedges
  • 1/2 bunch coriander stems chopped and leaves picked
  • 400 grams tin of chickpeas drained
  • 400 grams tinned tomatoes
  • 8 medium potatoes halved or quartered
  • 750 ml bone broth or water

optional

  • 1/2 cup dried apricots chopped or 1 TBSP apricot jam

spice blend

  • 1 TBSP ground cumin
  • 1 TBSP ground cinnamon
  • 1 TBSP ground ginger
  • 1 TBSP sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • If making your own spice blend, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Massage the gravy beef with the spice rub and leave to marinade while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • When you're ready to cook, heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or tallow in a casserole dish over medium heat. Add the meat and fry until golden on both sides.
  • Remove the meat and place to the side.In the same dish, add the onion, coriander stems and a good pinch of salt, and fry in the spiced oil for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, chickpeas, tomatoes, browned meat, potatoes, and bone broth or water. Stir well. Bring to the boil, then cover and reduce to low. Cook for 2.5-3 hours, adding extra water, if needed. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker for 6 hours, or until tender. The beef should be very tender.
  • If the sauce is a bit too runny, simmer with the lid off for 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir through coriander and serve on its own or with seasoned couscous.

Serving

  • For spoon feeding: Puree the beef and vegetables until smooth, using the broth to thin it out.
  • For BLW: Serve tender meat and vegetables as finger food
