Tanjin Preparation of:

Start by cutting 500 grams of meat into small cubes, and set it aside.

Peel and finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

Heat up 1 cup of liquid oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until they become translucent.

Add the meat to the pan and cook it until it browns, making sure to stir occasionally.

While the meat is cooking, grind 1 cup of almonds into a fine powder in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle.

Once the meat is cooked through, add the ground almonds, 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of red bell pepper, 1 cup of tomatoes, 1 cup of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon of cumin to the pan. Mix everything well.

Add enough water to the pan to cover the meat and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

If you find the sauce too thick, you can add more water.

Once the sauce is thickened and the meat is cooked through, turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with rice, bulgur, or bread.

To make it more filling, you can also add some chickpeas or potatoes to the dish.

For a restaurant-style presentation, you can serve the dish in a traditional tajine pot with a dome-shaped lid, or you can use a casserole dish.

Tips:

You can also use almond flour instead of whole almonds.
You can also add some saffron threads for more flavor
If you want the dish to be more spicy, increase the amount of red pepper flakes
Adjust the amount of salt to your taste
You can also use other types of meat such as chicken or lamb
