Kamounia is beef and liver cooked slowly in a cumin-heavy sauce. It is made in Sudan, Tunisia and Egypt, and no single country has been assigned. The name is the recipe. Kamoun is Arabic for cumin, and kamounia is the cumin dish, the spice is not one flavour among several but the defining note, used in a quantity that would seem excessive anywhere else. Two teaspoons for half a kilo of meat, added in two stages, is what the source calls for, and the second addition at the end is what keeps the flavour bright rather than cooked flat. Liver alongside beef is the other structural choice. It is not a substitution or an economy, the two are cooked together deliberately, and liver's mineral, faintly bitter character is what cumin is balancing against. The regional versions diverge in one clear way, which the source identifies correctly: the Tunisian version includes harissa, and the Egyptian one does not. That single ingredient changes the dish considerably, and the recipe here follows the Tunisian version since harissa is in the ingredient list. One technique worth noting: the meat and liver are cooked in oil over high heat for the first five minutes with no water at all, which browns them properly before any liquid goes in.
Kamounia is a cumin-flavoured stew of beef and liver made in Sudanese, Tunisian and Egyptian cooking. The name derives from kamoun, the Arabic word for cumin. Tunisian versions include harissa, which Egyptian versions do not.

Cut the beef and the liver into pieces of a similar size.
Pour the olive oil into a large pan, pot or casserole and bring it up to heat.
Put in the meat and liver and cook over high heat, turning them carefully and often, for at least 5 minutes with no water at all. This browns them properly.
Work in the tomato purée and the harissa if you are using it, and cook until the meat is tender.
Mix in one teaspoon of the cumin, then the turmeric, red pepper, salt and black pepper, along with water to the consistency you want. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes.
Once the meat is cooked through, put in the garlic cloves and the remaining teaspoon of cumin.
Cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes and serve hot with rice.
