Tagine is a traditional Moroccan stew slow-cooked for hours in a conical clay pot of the same name. However, a modern pressure-cooker can deliver nearly the same rich flavor and fall-apart beefy tenderness in a fraction of the time. Apricots, honey, and a mix of spices give this stew a sweet, gingery complexity.

Greg Jones says:

We were gifted a tagine by a relative so decided to try this recipe. We found star anise at our local grocery store, it was our first time cooking with this ingredient. I really like the way this dish turned out. It definitely had rich flavor, a little spice, and great texture.

Katie Hason says:

Very authentic-tasting stew! I wasn't able to find star anise so I used fennel seeds instead. I enjoyed this dish and it was really easy to make in the pressure cooker.
