Tagine Makfoul: Moroccan Meat Tagine With Onion & Caramelized Tomato Recipe. A Recipe From Marrakech
Tagine Makfoul: Tender savory meat topped with onions and sweet, caramelized tomatoes. I can’t think of a better dish to cook in my beautiful new @kamsah_ tagine! #ad
For The Tagine:
2.75 pounds beef or lamb (shanks or stew meat)
1 large onion, finely chopped
3-4T olive oil
2t ground ginger
2t ground turmeric
1t ground cinnamon
1 cinnamon stick
1t ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
Pinch of Saffron, soaked in 1/2c of warm water
1 small bouquet of cilantro
For The Tomato & Onion Topping (Makfoul)
2 onions, sliced 1/4” thick
3-4 tomatoes, sliced 1/4” thick
1t cinnamon
3T sugar or honey
In a tagine heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, meat, spices and salt. Stir, ensuring olive oil and spices coat the meat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes to lock in the flavors. Add saffron water followed by the cilantro and continue to cook uncovered for a few minutes. Add water to barely cover the meat, bring to boil then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 2 hours (time will vary depending on the cut of meat used) until the meat starts to become tender.
Once tender, remove tagine lid and spoon out about 1/2c of liquid. This is also a good time to taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add sliced onions on top of the meat to completely cover the meat below. Spoon the tagine cooking liquid evenly over the onions. Add a layer of cut tomatoes on top of the onions sprinkling generously with cinnamon and sugar.
Cover and let cook for an additional 35-45 minutes until the onions are cooked and the tomatoes are nicely caramelized.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can cook the tagine uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

Nice work. Tip: Grind the saffron to powder with a mortar and pestle before blooming it in hot water and you'll get more bang for your buck.
I'm Moroccan myself and this looks good😊
He's correct makfool means closed! It's Arabic
Looks good! And yummy!
I love Moroccan tagine!
Well done ❤
Funny how you referred tagine to Arab culture when it's an Amazgh dish. Also, the term maqfoul doesn't exist. Tajine is always closed. Literally no moroccan calls it maqfoul 😂 Arab morocan or amazigh moroccan
Love that you use the flower spices forget what they called but beautiful tagin the sugar is the only thing i dont like about it
