Moroccan tagine is a traditional dish of arabic cuisine which consists of meat, chicken or fish cooked with a variety of spices and vegetables, such as onion, tomato, pepper and artichokes, served in a clay tagine.
Beyond the name, it is a cooking vessel typical of Moroccan cuisine, made in ceramics similar to a clay pot. It is used for slow cooking and flavoring foods.
Before cooking in a Moroccan tagine, it needs to be cured. This process involves brushing the inside of the tagine with oil and heating it in the oven or on a stove over medium-high heat for several minutes. The goal of this is to seal the porosity of the clay and prevent food from sticking to it while cooking.
Next, the spices, vegetables and meat or fish can be added to the tagine, and everything is mixed. It is then placed in the oven or on the stove over medium-low heat and cooked for a few hours, depending on the type of meat or fish used.
In all steps it is important to ensure that the tagine is covered throughout the cooking process so that the food cooks slowly and mixes well.
There are several typical foods that are cooked in a moroccan tagine. Some More popular they include the following:
Lamb – This is one of the most popular meals in Morocco, and is cooked with lamb, onion, tomato, bell pepper, carrot, artichokes, and a variety of spices.

Our Tips for keeping the Moroccan clay tajine in perfect condition are the following:
It is important to clean it with warm soapy water after each use and to dry it completely before storing it. Avoid using metal utensils on the tajine, as it can scratch the clay and affect its cookability. It is also advisable to store it in a cool and dry place to avoid humidity.
Cook over medium-low heat to prevent food from burning and to cook slowly and mix well.
Aadd enough water so that the food cooks slowly and does not burn, but not so much that it becomes a stew. The amount of water will depend on the type of food you are cooking, but it is generally recommended to add water until the food is covered.
Place the food in the tagine so that it cooks evenly. For example, it is advisable to place the vegetables in the lower part of it and the pieces of meat or fish in the upper part.
Once the dish has been cooked, it is important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving so that the flavors blend and the food cooks further. The residual heat will also help keep food warm while serving.
