Description

This beef dish with okra is a feast for the senses! Inspired by Moroccan cuisine, it combines tender beef with the slightly sour note of okra pods and a wealth of oriental spices. Ras el Hanout, Harissa, cumin and cinnamon take you on a culinary journey. I particularly like to cook this dish in autumn, when the aromas of cinnamon and cloves are particularly well suited to the season. It is a hearty and warming dish that can be enjoyed with rice or flatbread. The preparation takes a little time, but the effort is definitely worth it!
