Moroccan Minted Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan, add the onions and cook gently for 5 minutes until they soften. Stir in the Quorn and spices (unlike meat and poultry, Quorn doesn't need to be browned), then add the apricots and stock. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cook gently for 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make up the couscous following the packet instructions - it will take about 450ml boiling water to give it a nice fluffy texture. Fork through the lemon zest and mint. Season to taste.
• Spoon the couscous onto serving plates, pile the Quorn mixture on top and scatter with the cashews.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large non-stick pan; cook beef, in batches, until browned all over and cooked as desired.
• Cook onion in same pan, stirring until soft. Add cumin and rind; cook, stirring, until fragrant, Stir in undrained crushed tomatoes; simmer, uncovered stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Return beef to pan with nuts and mint; stir until hot.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes or so.
• Add garlic and cook for another minute or two.
• Add beef and brown.
• Mix in all of the spices plus the olives, raisins, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, simmering gently for about 10 minutes. Add a little stock or water if the mixture is getting too dry (depends on how fatty the meat is).
• Stir in the lemon zest and chopped cilantro, and voila! ...or whatever is the Moroccan equivalent
• I served this over brown rice pasta, but rice would also be great of course, or serve it with vegetables if you're not eating grains.
