    Hi everyone, having a bit of a last minute gathering tomorrow with a few friends and I am cooking dinner. I'm new to eating meat as I was a veggie for the last 12 or 13 years up until a few months ago so I haven't got the hang of cooking it yet. I was thinking a beef stew so there would be ery little risk of me serving meat that was too tough, chewy, dry etc.. Can anyone help me out with a good recipe? I've never made it before but am well able in the kitchen so it's doesn't need to be a simple one, preferably something a bit special or different. I was thinking a guiness stew but the boyf reckons it's not been great any time he's had it!? Maybe a moroccan beef stew or something like that? I don't want to cook lamb.
    Thanks in advance!

    Why not? Spring lamb in season at the moment is beautiful. A bit pricey but delicious nonetheless.

    A moroccan style tagine dish would work definitely. Just fry off the chopped meat with seasoning in a decent pot to seal it off, whip it out and leave it aside. Fry off a few onions sliced up, a few garlic cloves and some ginger. Mix in some spices- cinnamon, crushed coriander seeds maybe paprika- and turmeric to colour. Toss the meat back in and add a tin or two of tomatoes and a spoon of tomato puree. Put the lid on and leave it to cook in the oven at a medium temperature- say 160c- for an hour and a half or until the meat is really really tender. Serve with some cous cous.

    The Lamb Tagine recipe in the cooking club was excellent.
