Authentic Moroccan Tagine!


A tagine (tajine in Europe but never tangine) is a type of dish found in the North African cuisine of Morocco. It is named after the special pot in which it is cooked. The traditional tagine pot is formed entirely of heavy clay which is sometimes painted, glazed, or remain unglazed. A tagine consists of two parts, a base unit which is flat and circular with low sides, and a large conical and dome-shaped cover that rests inside the base ring during cooking. The cover is so designed to promote the return of all condensation to the bottom.



 

Tagines in Moroccan cuisine are slow-cooked dishes braised at low temperatures, resulting in tender meat with aromatic vegetables and sauce. Tagines can be made vegetarian or with meat. The preferred cuts of lamb are the neck, shoulder or shank cooked until it is falling off the bone. It can also be made with any meat.

Moroccan tagines often combine lamb or chicken with a medley of ingredients and seasonings.
