Cumin Braised Beef with Red Rice

In this hearty kamuneya, the star spice is Egypt’s most essential seasoning: cumin. Cultivated in Egypt since ancient times, cumin’s warm, earthy aroma and slightly nutty bitterness enrich the flavour of meat. Beyond its taste, cumin is known to aid digestion and soothe the stomach, hence its generous addition to beans and pulses. This cumin-braised beef pairs beautifully with red rice.
