These clay vessels, beautiful and full of history, also have a useful purpose.
They are the traditional cooking pot of North Africa. The word tagine refers to the conical-lidded vessel and also to the dishes that are cooked inside. Its beauty lies in the lid, which traps moisture and aromas during cooking and turns out food that is moist and succulent. They are designed to be used over direct heat rather than in the oven. The deep cazuela base, typical of Spanish Tagines, can be used without the lid, making this a versatile acquisition.
Made in Catalonia, Spain, these terracotta tagines are glazed with a hard-wearing, stick-resistant matt black glaze which helps transfer heat efficiently. Elegance and simplicity at the table, the tagines design allows the steam to internally circulate. The end result? The most original and exotic recipes will be ever-so-amazing.
