👩‍🍳 Preparation:

1. In a pot (or tagine over very low heat), place the meat with onions, garlic, oil, and spices. Stir well so the meat absorbs the flavors.

2. Add 1 cup of water or broth, cover, and let the meat cook slowly until tender.

3. In a separate pan, put the prunes with a little of the cooking broth, the cinnamon stick, and 1–2 tablespoons of honey (or sugar). Let them simmer until they become soft, glazed, and slightly caramelized.

4. Once the meat is done, place it in a serving dish, arrange the sweet prunes on top.

5. Garnish with fried almonds and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

👉 Serve hot with Moroccan bread. 😋
