Directions

  1. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Cook and stir beef in hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes.

  2. Pour reserved liquid from figs into a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water so the mixture is 2 cups total, pour into pot with the beef. Stir carrots, onion, green onions, coriander, and cinnamon into the beef mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook at a simmer for 90 minutes.

  3. Stir honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture, continue cooking on low for 1 hour more.

  4. Stir figs and almonds into the beef mixture. Remove from heat. Cool for 1 hour before reheating to serve.

Recipe Note

One of my most-requested recipes! Serve over egg pastina pasta. It's the same as couscous but much less expensive! If it's too thick for you, add more water when reheating.
