  1. This stew came together quickly and it looks so nice with all the colors. Great aroma too with all the warm spices. I cooked the stew longer to ensure that the beef was tender nice and tender. Will serve over rice for dinner tonight.
     
  2. I enjoyed this Moroccan Beef Stew and added some extra veggies. I added some cubed sweet potato, and then some frozen peas. I let the stew simmer on low for 1 hour to make the beef really tender. I served the stew over couscous. I boiled 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and added 2 diced green onions and lemon zest, then added 1 cup of couscous, and removed the pot from the stove and let sit with the lid on for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving.

  3. Yummy! I served over rice because that was what I had on hand. Turned out wonderfully. I loved all the spices in the dish. It was very flavorful and warm. Loved the olives, but might reduce the raisins just a tad next time. Thanks for sharing! Made for For Your Consideration at Yuku.
     
  4. The folks who didn't try this for ZWT 9 missed out. It's richly and complexly Moroccan flavored and just plain tummy. I served it with plain whole wheat couscous. After tasting the stew I knew that the couscous didn't need anything extra. The couscous was really only there to soak up the stew liquid. I made the full batch and I'm glad I did. I'll be freezing the rest in several servings to enjoy in the cold months. :D
