Tagine? I just want dinner.

Tagine Step 3 - Simmer for 2 hours

We decided to try out a tagine (also spelled as tajine), a North African cooking pot for stewing meals slowly over low heat. The idea is to chop up spices, brown the meat, and then cover with this funny-looking lid to let it simmer for 2 hours or more. The tagine works by letting the liquids condense and re-circulate, maintaining the moisture and resulting in fork-tender meat stews. It was quite tasty...
