The Le Creuset Tagine is a traditional way to cook authentic dishes from the Middle East. Inspired by the slowly simmered, heavily seasoned cuisines indigenous to North Africa, the Moroccan tagine is a classic example of form following function. Its distinctive lid allows for the constant return of condensation to the base, moistening ingredients and tenderising tough fibres within the meat. And because it's crafted from durable cast iron, the tagine retains heat longer and cooks food more evenly and thoroughly. Traditional Moroccan tagines (the dish is named for the cookware) typically include a combination of braised meat (often lamb, beef or chicken), fruits, root vegetables and fragrant spices like cinnamon, saffron and ginger. Features:
- Versatile cast iron base is suitable for browning vegetables and meat on the stovetop, or for warming tortillas in the oven
- Colourful stoneware lid is designed to circulate heat and moisture
