Waiting for a cook
Morocco
Kebab maghdour, the "betrayed kebab", is the Moroccan tagine born of a story every Fassi cook tells: a wife with meat cubed and ready for the skewers learns that her husband is bringing two friends to lunch, so she tips the kebab meat into a pot with a mountain of onions and stretches it into a stew, and finishes it with eggs to make it go further. The meat (veal, lamb or beef) is marinated with onion, garlic, ginger and pepper, cooked slowly in a thick onion sauce (daghmira) with paprika, parsley and smen, and served in the tagine with eggs poached in the sauce or fried on top.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 5 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
