tagine
Conical-lidded casserole
A tagine is a North African stew, typically Moroccan, made with meat, vegetables, and aromatic spices like cumin, cinnamon, and saffron, often incorporating dried fruits or preserved lemons.
The dish takes its name from the conical clay pot it's traditionally cooked in, which traps steam and returns moisture to the food: We ordered lamb tagine with apricots.
