Braised Meat Tagine with Fennel and Peas

Description

Our braised meat tagine with fennel and peas is an authentic creation that celebrates traditional Moroccan flavors. Tender pieces of meat, slowly braised until melting in the mouth, pair perfectly with lightly caramelized fennel, which develops subtle aniseed notes. The peas, added at the end of cooking, bring a touch of freshness and spring sweetness to the dish. The creamy sauce, infused with carefully selected spices, delicately coats each bite for a rich and balanced taste experience. This patiently simmered dish embodies the very essence of Moroccan cuisine: complex flavors that reveal themselves over time.

Preparation

This tagine is prepared using the traditional Moroccan method. The meat is first browned to develop its flavors, then simmered over very low heat in a clay tagine with onions, garlic, and spices. This slow cooking allows the meat to become incredibly tender and juicy. The quartered fennel bulbs are added halfway through cooking to retain their texture while developing their distinctive flavors. The peas are added to the tagine at the end of cooking to preserve their freshness and vibrant color. Everything simmers gently, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly in a rich and fragrant sauce.
