Beef with Fennel and Nigella Ingredients

2 cups onion coarsely chopped2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger root peeled and minced2 tablespoons oil

Instructions for Beef with Fennel and Nigella

1. In a food processor or blender, puree onions.

2. In a large saucepan, stir together pureed onions, ginger, garlic, and vinegar. Add
meat. Mix well. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.

3. Cover saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and
simmer 20 minutes.
