Tagine is named after the special earthenware pot in which it is cooked. Yet, for all Moroccans it connotes an irresistible delicious taste and a pleasingly sweet smell. It is cooked and braised slowly at low temperatures, resulting in tender meat with aromatic vegetables and sauce, and it is served hot.
This Tagine, unlike the traditional one, is meat and eggs based and it doesn’t take too much time to be prepared. These steps will take you to enjoy the irresistible taste of Moroccan Tagine.
