Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened.
  2. Add the cubed lamb or beef to the pot and brown on all sides.
  3. Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes to toast the spices.
  4. Add the sliced carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, chickpeas, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for about 1-1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Lay out the phyllo dough sheets on a clean surface. Place a few spoonfuls of the stew mixture in the center of each sheet.
  8. Fold the sides of the phyllo dough over the filling to create a packet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve the Tagine Malsouka hot and enjoy!
