FOOD: TAJIN
Moroccan earthenware casserole pot; Tunisian stuffed omelette.
Tajin is the name of an earthenware casserole with a conical top lid used in Morocco to make a variety of stews known by the same name. Meat and vegetables are simmered for a long time until the meat is soft and the stew aromatic. Touajen (plural of
tajin) are flavored with cumin, harissa, coriander, caraway, paprika, and other spices.
In Tunisia, a tajin is an entirely different dish, a variety of stuffed omelette similar to the Spanish (but not the Mexican) tortilla.
