 What is a tagine? Tagine, also spelled tajine, is both the Moroccan (Berber) cooking vessel and dish made in it. The dish is a stew made of meats and vegetables and traditionally cooked in a tagine with a conical shaped lid to allow the steam to rise, condense and drip back down to the stew. Tagines are traditionally prepared on top of a clay majmar, but a charcoal grill will work as well. Practically anything can be turned into a tagine dish: meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and some even make it with meat and fruits. Some typical tagine dishes include lamb with dates, lamb with raisins or prunes and almonds, chicken with olives and preserved lemon, chicken with dried apricots, and meatballs (ketfa) with tomatoes and eggs. Each region has their own special tagine dishes and different ways of preparing it. Tagines are not meant for modern conveniences and may not survive contact with high heat. When using the stovetop or oven, please use low heat! Hand wash, no dishwashers, please!
