Beef Tagine With Meslalla Olives:  A Mouthwatering Dish Of Fork Tender Meat Smothered In Tangy Green Olives

The recipe below can be made with chicken instead of beef and can be made in a traditional tagine with adjusted cooking time. 

Ingredients 

3 lbs beef shank 
1.5c Meslalla Olives Or Moroccan Green olives crushed & pitted 
3T olive oil
1 onion, grated 
3 cloves of garlic, grated 
1.5t ginger 
Saffron, large pinch 
1t cumin 
1t paprika 
1T parsley, chopped 
1T cilantro, chopped 
2.5T freshly squeezed lemon juice 
1 preserved lemon, for serving 
Salt, to taste 

Instructions 

Combine olive oil, beef, grated onion, ginger, saffron and salt in a pressure cooker.  Sauté for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to come together, adding the garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking.  Add enough water to barley cover the meat.  Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. 

While the meat cooks, lightly crush olives with the back of a chef’s knife and remove pit.  Soak pitted olives in warm water for 30 minutes. If you’re using traditional meslalla olives boil the pitted olives in 2-3 changes of water 5 minutes at a time.

Release pressure and add cumin, paprika, parsley, cilantro, fresh lemon juice and drained olives. 

Cook again at high pressure for 5 minutes.  Release pressure ensuring meat is fork tender.  Remove meat and continue to cook over high heat until the sauce starts to thicken.  Adjust seasoning. 

To serve, place meat in a tagine or serving plate, top with olives and the sauce.  Decorate with preserved lemon peel.  Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
