MOROCCAN LAMB OR BEEF TAGINE WITH PEAS AND ARTICHOKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine meat, onions, garlic, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, and spices (except for the saffron) in a pressure cooker or wide, heavy-bottomed pot. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring several times to turn meat and brown it on all sides.
• Add about 3 cups of water, cover, and increase heat to high until pressure is achieved or liquids boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook with pressure for 25 minutes (or simmer conventionally for 40 to 60 minutes).
• Add peas, artichokes, and saffron. If liquids are not level with vegetables, add a little more water. Cover, bring back to pressure and cook for 12 to 15 minutes (or simmer for 25 to 30 minutes) until vegetables are tender. Check seasoning and If necessary, reduce liquids until a rich sauce has formed.
• Serve with Moroccan bread for scooping up meat and vegetables.
• Gather the ingredients.
• If using freshly shelled peas, parboil for several minutes; drain, and set aside.
• Coat base of tagine with a little olive oil. Slice an additional onion into rings and distribute rings on bottom of tagine.
• In a bowl, mix meat with remaining olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, spices, and chopped cilantro and place over sliced onions. Add mixture to the tagine, taking care to arrange meat in middle.
• Surround meat with peas, then arrange artichokes all around.
• Swirl about 2 1/2 cups of water in bowl used for meat to "rinse" spices from sides of bowl, and add to tagine. Add a little more water if necessary to barely cover the peas.
• Close tagine and place over medium-low heat. (A diffuser is necessary if cooking over an electric burner and recommended for other heat sources as well.) Stay patient while tagine reaches a simmer-it could take some time. Once liquids have reached a simmer, continue cooking tagine for about 3 hours, checking liquids once or twice in the last hour of cooking and adding a little bit more water only if you feel it's necessary.
• The tagine is done when you can easily break meat apart with fingers. If necessary, continue simmering uncovered to reduce sauce.
• Garnish as desired with strips of preserved lemon. Serve dish directly from tagine with Moroccan bread on the side for scooping up meat and veggies.
