COOKS! Anyone use a tagine? Moroccan ceramic cooker

[Freedom]

Someone on FB recently got a tagine, and is really enjoying it (she loves to cook, I do too).

The cover captures condensation and returns it, keeping the meat moist. I am going to get one, I think. Will have to research recipes, like curry etc. Wondered if anyone uses one.

The restaurant I used to hostess at used to serve tagine. The chef was moroccan born but lived and trained in Italy. He did an amazing lamb tagine & another with beef that were just so good. The chef was a friend of my hubby's. He gave us several of his recipes. The beef tagine & lamb tagine that he made were 2 of them along with a honey sauce he used on ribs, a rosé sauce for pasta, gorgonzola sauce for gnocchi was another. All delicious. I will have to dig them out as I haven't made either tagine dish is ages but can send you the recipes if you want.

Yummy oh yes please do send those along!

In researching, seems the same term is used for a meal and for the cooking pot, lol. It was the pot I was considering buying. Found them on ebay, but so many choices! Size, material (silicone, ceramic, cast iron base with ceramic dome) very interesting.

You should also check Craiglist, as it's the kind of thing people sometimes get as a gift but never end up using!

Good idea Karen, thanks. Not sure I AM getting one. Just looking into it for now. Expensive and want to be sure I am going to USE it for that price.

Isn't this basically like just cooking a meal in a slow cooker/crock pot with a ceramic liner?
