This Moroccan Tagine with Quinces (Safarjal) unbelievably good! Tagine is the name given to the cooking vessel this meal is cooked in. A round, shallow bowl with a conical shaped lid.
Typical tagine recipes stemming from East Africa and Morocco specifically calls for meat and fruit to be cooked together to create a sweet, fruity but rich and meaty dish. The flavor combinations are deliciously mouthwatering.
To make Moroccan Tagine with Quinces (Safarjal), you will need the following ingredients:
In a pressure cooker or heavy bottomed pot, stir meat, onions, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, salt, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, Ras El Hanout, oil and butter. Over medium-high heat, mix well and cook until meat is browned.
Add saffron, cilantro and 3 cups of water. Cover with the lid and cook with pressure for about 45 minutes or simmer without pressure for 1½ hours until meat is extremely tender.
Reserve 3-4 tablespoons of the tagine broth then reduce remaining liquid until sauce is thickened.
Drain the quinces and transfer them to a skillet or pot with fresh water and a dissolved teaspoon of sugar. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until quinces are tender but still hold their shape.
Drain quinces and reserve a few tablespoons of the poaching liquid.
Transfer reserved quinces, reserved meat broth, reserved poaching liquid, butter, cinnamon, sugar, honey and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally and turning quinces to continuously coat all sides until sauce is thickened into a syrup.
Place meat and sauce on a serving platter, discarding cilantro pieces. Arrange quinces around meat and pour the syrup over the meat and fruit.
Serve with crusty Moroccan bread to scoop it all up!
