Both my guest and I thought that this was a lot like stew, and though it was fine, it also didn't strike either of us as anything special. I expected the cinnamon & cumin flavor to be much stronger, and was a bit disappointed that the flavors weren't more pronounced. I followed the recipe pretty closely, using 1 lb of stew meat, homemade veggie broth and 4 cups of veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes & mushrooms), but left all of the spices as listed. I did leave out the raisins because I just don't like them. This was definitely an easy meal, and would probably be a big hit with those that like beef stew. I'd suggest serving it over rice or noodles.

I didn't think it would be fair to post any stars, as I'm not really sure how I feel about it. It's not a bad recipe at all, it's just *different*....for us. I've never had a Moroccan dish before, or used cumin, and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. The house smelled wonderful while it was cooking, and the meat was extremely tender. However, we found the cumin to be a little overpowering, and I'm not quite sure I like the cinnamon with the meat. I will probably try it again, but reduce those particular spices some. Thanks for posting Annacia. It's always good to get out of our comfort zones.
