Meat tagine with prunes

tajin

ingredients:

Half a kilo of beef or lamb
A large onion, finely chopped
A bunch of coriander and parsley, cut into small pieces
3 garlic cloves, chopped
A quarter cup of olive oil
A small spoon of black pepper
1 tablespoon ginger powder “white pepper”
Half a teaspoon of turmeric
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon saffron “replaceable with food coloring”
Decorating components:
50 g prunes
50g fried almonds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
A tablespoon of sugar
A tablespoon of orange blossom water

steps:

Put the parsley and garlic mixture in a bowl, then add the other spices to it, black pepper, ginger, saffron and turmeric and Mix all together well.

In a pressure cooker, we add onions, oil, meat and the marinade that we have made, add two tablespoons of water, and mix all over a low heat, until all the ingredients fry and the onions become very soft and the water that we have added disappears and only the oil remains, of course with constant stirring so that the ingredients do not stick.

Then we add an amount of water unless it covers the meat completely, close the pressure cooker well, turn the fire to the medium and leave it on the fire until the meat is cooked and the water becomes less, and knowing that the water is less, the cooker must be moved from time to time, only we feel that the water has become less, we open the pressure cooker And we make sure that the meat is tender. It takes almost an hour to cook the meat, depending on the quality of the meat.

If the meat does not become tender, you can add a small amount of water and close the saucepan again until the meat cooks well.

The important thing is that after the meat becomes soft, we leave the saucepan on a low heat until the meat fries and the broth becomes very luscious and the onions become dark brown in color. Meaning, the onion becomes honey, a large amount of broth should not be left, because the main reason for the flavor of the Moroccan tagine in its broth is that it becomes very heavy. The broth should be tasted to make sure of the salt, if it needs salt it should be added.

flan
8 Room temperature eggs
4 cups Full cream milk (it can be 2 cups milk + 2 cups soft labneh cream)
a cup Sugar
2 tsp Vanilla Extra (liquid or fresh, fine powdered type, a pinch of orange zest or very fine lemon, or a pinch of coconut to prevent eggs from rancid).

steps

We prepare a frying pan and put the cup of sugar in it with 4 large spoons of water and raise it on a medium heat, then stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts and turns into light golden caramel, and here we remove the pan from the fire immediately so that the sugar does not burn and becomes dark (because here it is not healthy at all It is not used at all).
We prepare Pyrex molds or pottery or any molds intended for making flan (cream caramel) and put in a tray with slightly high edges oven baking (small molds or a large mold), then we prepare the caramel sauce and put a large spoon in each mold
We prepare the eggs, combine with sugar, beat a little, then add the milk, and beat with the electric beater (possible with the hand mixer).
Continue whisking until the mixture becomes crisp, then add vanilla and stir (note: you can add other flavors with vanilla, such as a little coconut or a grain of orange or lemon zest, as I explained earlier).
Pour the mixture into the molds over the caramel sauce.
Here, after completing the mixture of flan (cream caramel) in the molds, we enter the tray into the oven, then bring hot water and pour the bottom of the molds into the tray so that it reaches a quarter of the molds, then close the oven door, and the temperature is over 150 in the oven in which there is a fan or 170 in a regular oven, and leave until the cream is caramelized completely, about an hour, and we test by placing a knife in the center. If it comes out without any liquid in it, the cream is caramel cooked.
After it has matured and the face has become golden red, leave it until the heat subsides, then put it into the refrigerator until it cools completely
We take out from the refrigerator, and press the letters of the mold onto a light hand, then put a plate or plate on the face of the mold and turn the plate over, and the cream cake will go down like this and the caramel sauce will be around it, and served.
