The history of Moroccan Tagine dates back to the Berbers, who used the cone-shaped clay pot to slow-cook meats, vegetables, and spices over hot coals. This traditional North African dish has evolved over centuries, with each region adding its own unique twist. Chefs in Marrakech are known for their use of preserved lemons and olives, while those in Fez favor a sweeter flavor profile with the addition of dried fruits like apricots and prunes. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in the bustling markets of Casablanca, where vendors expertly layer a colorful array of vegetables like carrots, eggplant, and bell peppers, creating a vibrant and flavorful Tagine. To make the perfect Tagine, it's crucial to get the spice blend just right, with a mix of cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, and to slow-cook the dish to tender perfection. For a twist on the traditional method, some chefs recommend using a stovetop Tagine or even a slow cooker for equally delicious results.
