Moroccan Tagine Recipe
Perhaps the other dish that Morocco is most famous for is its beloved tagine. The word ‘tagine’ literally refers to the wide-based, conical pan used for cooking generally meat-based dishes. The shape of the tagine creates a particularly moist, hot atmosphere in which to cook, meaning meats are cooked partly in their own moisture, adding to the rich flavor of tagine dishes. If you’re curious to try one out for yourself, then try your hand at this Chicken Cracked Olive and Couscous Tagine recipe. Boasting a plethora of spices such as cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon, among others, you’ll totally see what all the fuss is about when it comes to Moroccan cuisine.
