An extremely important part of traditional Moroccan cuisine is tagine. It's been a part of their culture for hundreds of years. The word tagine itself has two different meanings. The first one refers to a typical North African traditional cookware made of ceramic or clay. It is a shallow, circular dish that's used for cooking and serving. A distinct part of it is its rounded cone or a dome-like lid. The second meaning of this word refers to a stew-like dish that's slow-cooked in the above-mentioned traditional cookware. It is usually a mixture of meat, seafood, poultry, and vegetables or fruits. The origin of the tagine is believed to trace back to the 18th century when Harun al Rashid ruled the Islamic empire. Another equally popular theory about its origin is the influence of the Roman Empire on Moroccan cooking. Regardless of where the tagine came from, it is an incredible piece of kitchen equipment. In fact, all kitchens should have a tagine!
