For this <strong>nomadic<\/strong> people, what could be better than a utensil that is both a cooking dish and a serving dish? In a country where fresh water is scarce and precious, this earthen pot allows one to cook by steaming everything the land offers: seasonal vegetables and dried fruits, with fish on the coasts \u2013 as in <strong>Safi<\/strong>, <strong>Essaouira or Agadir <\/strong>\u2013 or meats in the inland areas and the Atlas Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This stew is suitable for hole-in-the-wall eateries as well as upscale restaurants. It is the emblem of Moroccan hospitality. Whatever the recipe, the ritual does not change: the dish is taken off the heat and placed on a low table, and the guests pick from it with their hands, using <strong>bread<\/strong>. That is perhaps the tajine&#8217;s greatest spell: its <strong>conviviality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tagine can come in different forms. Here we mainly spoke of the tajine as a dish and cooking instrument. There are also tajines that serve as decoration; these are the ones that have ornaments painted on them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The tajine is part of Moroccan culture and its art.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tagine is a cooking utensil but also a traditional Moroccan dish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1731,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[450],"tags":[119,58,115,124,127,128,116,125,126],"class_list":["post-7039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-food","tag-maroc","tag-marocain","tag-plat","tag-poisson","tag-restaurant","tag-tajine","tag-terre","tag-viande","latest_post"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
