Technique to learn

Moruno spice blooming

An Andalusian method of quickly frying warm ground spices like cumin and coriander in fat to draw out fat-soluble aromatic oils before adding liquids.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Season beef cubes with salt and pepper, then sear in a single layer until deep brown on all sides, about 7 minutes, before removing to a plate.
Step 3: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauteing over medium heat until onions are soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. atmospheric

Step 4: Stir in ground cumin, sweet smoked paprika, and ground coriander, cooking for 1 minute until spices are fragrant.

Step 5: Return seared beef to the pot, add drained chickpeas, and pour in the halal beef broth, bringing liquid to a gentle boil.

Step 6: Turn heat to low, cover pot tightly with a lid, and simmer gently for 25 minutes until beef is tender and broth turns rich.

Cooking tips

Browning the beef cubes thoroughly creates a deep base flavor for the braising sauce.
Rinse canned chickpeas under cold water before adding to remove excess starch.
