Honestly, most of the time, I make my Moroccan chicken tagine with whatever vegetable leftovers I have.Cover the tagine (or Dutch oven pot) and place on low-medium heat.Enjoy the chicken tagine directly FROM the tagine, using pulled pieces of wheat pita bread or flatbread to grab the food (remember the chicken is on the bottom).
The word tagine (tajine) has two meanings.It refers to a type of North African clay cookware used for both cooking and serving.The top of the tagine is distinctively shaped into a rounded dome or cone.But also the stew-like dish slow-cooked in this traditional clay pot is called tagine/tajine.Think of it as a rich thick and fragrant mixture of meat or fish, simmered with cozy spices.
