A delicious combination of spices, beef, and butternut squash.
A delicious tender beef dish, this Beef Tagine recipe with butternut squash is a moroccan style recipe full of warm and bold flavors.
Two people couldn't be more different. Grumpy and I are so different in many ways. Sometimes I wonder if the reason we fell in love was for that very reason! I'm naturally happy go lucky, however I admit a worry wart.
Grumpy, I think he would like to be naturally happy go lucky, but it takes some work for him to be that way! He is quick tempered while I am a whole lot more patient! Oh, don't get me wrong, I do lose my temper! Not proud of it when I do either - but are any of us really?
We have really different tastes when it comes to food also. I am a whole lot more adventuresome. Grumpy, he's a meat and potatoes man. He really didn't care for the couscous, while I loved it.
However, I have a harder time eating rice, it makes me not feel so well, so the fact I can eat couscous and not get sick makes me happy! While he ate this tagine, it was too "exotic" for him. So, if you're not adventuresome with flavors, this tagine may not be for you.
I however, would eat this again (and will when I take leftovers to lunch on Monday)! I loved the spices and it just felt "warming" and "comforting" to me. This Beef Tagine is a recipe I slightly adapted from Cooking Light Magazine. If you like the sound of the ingredients, then you will probably like the dish.

Cooking Light strikes again with a winner. If you tweak the recipe O am sure you can find a compromise that Grumpy will ask for over and over again.
