{"product_id":"moroccan-cooking-tagine-for-two-traditional","title":"Moroccan Cooking Tagine for Two - Traditional","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful tagine has the traditional designs of the Berber style displayed with geometric lines. Tagine is a multi-purpose word in Moroccan culture used to describe the earthen, cone-shaped, tabletop cooking vessel used to steam dishes and impart flavor, as well as a category of recipe prepared within the very vessel. Tagines serve as both the cooking vessel and the serving dish for double duty use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIf it's not broken, don't fix it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescriptions of food cooked \"tagine style\" date back to the 9th century classic, The Thousand and One Nights. A lot has changed in the last thousand years or so, but an appreciation for a good home-cooked meal is not one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason this cooking method has endured for so long is because tagines allow food to caramelize while cooking and to stay warm for longer when serving. By virtue of slow-cooking meat at low temperatures, effectively braising it until tender, a variety of cuts can be used. Take it from Paula Wolfart, author of The Food of Morocco. She writes, “clay pots coddle food, bringing forth bright, natural flavors and an unctuous tenderness. Clay pots produce tender, juicier, tastier meat without basting and often with less fat; they heat evenly; they retain moisture, so the food remains succulent.” #yum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBeauty AND function\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur tagine is formed from the rich, red Moroccan soil of Wadi Lan, and then decorated with a lead-free glaze.
