Tangine

[Wizard]

If you use a Tangine or Tagine depends where in the desert you live. They both mean the same cooking vessel.  The theory of a coned top cooking vessel is to keep the moisture and flavors from escaping and making the ingredients tender. It accomplishes everything very well. A tangine is usually made from clay and is highly decorated. I have one of clay and another of stainless steel. I prefer the clay tangine. Cost is $20-60 and the lower cost clay tangine cook as well as the high priced vessels. Meats go in first, then nuts, berry, fruit,etc. and finally vegetables. Give it a full cooking time  to let the flavors mingle. The meats are all Halal(kosher) and can be lamb, goat, camel, beef or poultry. For quick desert meals, small critters are killed and thrown directly onto the camp fire---fur and all. They is eaten with no further preparation.

I got one years ago as a gift. It's heavy cast iron with a clay dome. It is a very versatile pot. Beef and lamb shanks often make it in there. It's great for stews.
