Why cook in a pot made out of clay when you have stainless steel and non stick pots? Easy answer: Flavor! and lots of it...I am a big fan of this cooking method which uses a minimum of water (thanks to the cone shaped cover that trapps moisture in) and gives you a kind of stew (It hurts to call it stew because it's not) with very earthy flavors . My mom is the best tagine maker and I learned a thing or two from her. Below is part of my tagine collection; some of them are just for serving (The decorative ones) and some are for cooking. Now all these hang around my kitchen and look pretty until I decide that it's time to put the stainless steel away and get some clay out!!
I will follow by detailed step by step directions on how to cook a basic tagine but I thought it's necessary to have this post as a little introduction. You can buy your own tagine on line or become really good friends with me and I'll see what I can do LOL
