What does TAGINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A North African stew of meat and vegetables cooked slowly, or the cone-lidded clay pot it is cooked in.
A tagine is named after its cooking vessel, a shallow earthenware dish topped with a tall conical lid that returns rising steam to the food below, keeping the stew moist over a long, gentle cook. The same word covers both the pot and the dish made in it, so a cook might buy a tagine and later serve a tagine from it. The style is associated above all with Moroccan cooking, though the pot and method are used across the wider Maghreb.
How TAGINE is used
Used both for the earthenware cooking pot and for the stew prepared in it, mainly in the context of North African cuisine.
- She served a lamb tagine with apricots and almonds.
