Why It Works

Beef Tagine with Peas and Artichokes

Morocco (Atlantic plains and the west — the spring vegetable tagine; Bos taurus as the everyday meat alternative to Ovis aries in Moroccan domestic cooking) · Moroccan — Tagines & Slow Braises

A domestic everyday preparation for spring lunches — served with khobz. The artichoke and pea make it a complete one-pot meal. Less prestige-loaded than the lamb tagines; it is the Monday lunch tagine of a Moroccan family.

["Using lean beef: it dries out during the braise and the tagine sauce has no body from dissolved collagen.", "Adding peas too early: overcooked Pisum sativum loses its sweetness and becomes grey and starchy.", "Using frozen artichoke hearts without thawing and drying: excess moisture dilutes the sauce."]

Bos taurus chuck or shin (bone-in preferred); Cynara scolymus artichoke hearts; Pisum sativum peas (fresh or frozen)
