Moroccan Beef Tagine

For Christmas of last year, Pop gave John and me our first ever authentic Moroccan tagine. Our culinary gift collected dust for about 3 weeks until we broke it in with the following. (The original recipe called for lamb, but since we had purchased some wonderful beef stew meat, we used that instead.)


I found a great site for Moroccan food and went to work.

I will insert the recipe here in a few days. The site is taking forever to load.

One note on the recipe - the apricots added a great deal of sweetness to the dish. The flavors were very nice, but the dish was slightly sweet for John's and my taste. The orange juice, while a nice touch, seemed to add nothing to the dish in terms of flavor; maybe food science has something to do with its inclusion in the recipe.
