Oven-Roasted Meat and Vegetable Tray

Ingredients

Meat

• 500 g beef or lamb, any favorite cut (steak, bone-in chops)
• 1 onion
• 1/2 head of garlic
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Mixed spices (cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice)
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Vegetables

• Carrot, potato, eggplant, tomato and bell pepper, quartered
• 1/2 cup boiling water

Method

1. Blend the onion and garlic in a food processor with the spices and olive oil and rub into the meat, ideally the day before. Cut the vegetables, add to the meat and toss so they take the same marinade.
2. Put everything in a baking tray with the boiling water and seal tightly with foil so no air escapes.
3. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 1 to 2 hours depending on the meat; it browns on its own and needs no extra browning. Serve with Arabic or taboon bread and cucumber yogurt salad.
