What is a tajine?

Tajine is the name of the distinctively shaped cooking container and at the same time, it is the name of the dish, too. It is uniquely Moroccan. Tajine does not need to be stirred. Ingredients are arranged together inside with a mix of spices and a bit of water. Then, tajin is covered and left to simmer. Everybody in the family can help in its preparation.

Moroccan people are professional investors in every part of a slaughtered sheep’s body! It is funny but very true:

– Steamed sheep’s head is flavored with many spices and made even more tender and appealing to hungry eaters! If you are new to the Moroccan cuisine, you may get surprised to know that you can eat the whole thing even the eyebrows! It is a very popular street food.

-there is a special soup prepared in distinct corners of medina which is only made by bones! No meat is used yet it has an incredibly great taste.

– The tongue, the liver and the pancreas of a sheep makes a great takeaway or street food.

Many choices are put at your disposal but most of us would like to have something raw, sweet and juicy rather than dried fruits.
