During a visit to Morocco, I got fascinated by earthenware known as Tagine, that had a circular rimmed base and a dome shaped cover. The stews prepared in this pot are also referred to as a "Tagine".

Now, if you want to cook some tagine in a Moroccan earthenware, then try it with this healthy lamb tagine. Or you may still enjoy it with your same old cooking pot!
