The term “tagine” refers to both the earthenware cooking vessel and the flavorful stew prepared inside it. This unique cooking method preserves the authenticity of Moroccan flavors while delighting the senses of those who have the opportunity to enjoy this classic dish.
The origins of Moroccan tagine can be traced back centuries to the Berber tribes of North Africa, who used clay pots to slow-cook their food over charcoal, creating a practical method that infused the ingredients with exceptional taste.
