A tagine is a traditional North African cooking vessel, especially associated with Morocco. Its distinctive cone-shaped lid captures steam and returns moisture to the shallow base during slow cooking. The word “tagine” also refers to the flavorful dishes traditionally prepared inside, often combining meat or vegetables with spices, olives, preserved lemons, or dried fruit.
