Ingredients
750g Quality Mark diced beef
1/4 cup moroccan seasoning
2 tsp minced garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp saffron
While saffron adds an authentic touch, it can be left out without affecting the overall flavour too much.
1/4 cup olive oil
1 finely diced onion
2 waxy diced Potatoes
1 finely diced fennel
1/2 cup currant
Currants add a tasty sweetness, but can easily be replaced with sultanas or diced prunes.
2 deseeded and diced green chilli
2 cups beef stock
Pour any unused stock into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, tip the ice cubes into a suitable storage container or freezer bag, which has been labelled and dated. These can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.
