From the mountains to your table — learn the secrets of Morocco's most celebrated dish and the stories behind it.
The tagine is perhaps Morocco's most iconic dish — and for good reason. Named after the conical clay pot in which it is cooked, this slow-braised wonder transforms simple ingredients into something extraordinary.
The Clay Pot Secret
Authentic tagines are cooked in unglazed clay pots over a traditional charcoal brazier. The conical lid creates a unique convection system that continuously bastes the ingredients.
Mountain Variations
In the High Atlas, you will find tagines made with local lamb, preserved lemons from the valley, wild herbs gathered from the mountain slopes, and almonds from the ancient groves.
