What does TAJINE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A North African stew of spiced meat and vegetables, or the shallow clay dish with a tall conical lid in which it is cooked.
The dish takes its name from the vessel: the cone-shaped lid traps rising steam and lets it run back down, so the food cooks gently in its own juices over a low heat. Moroccan cooks often add dried fruit, olives or preserved lemon. Tajine is the form of the spelling that follows the French; the same word also appears with a g in the middle.
