Tajine is a traditional North African dish, primarily associated with Moroccan cuisine, named after the conical clay pot used to cook it. This slow-cooked stew combines tender meats like chicken, lamb, or beef with a mix of vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, and fragrant spices such as turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon. Variations may include plant-based options with legumes like chickpeas. Tajine is often served with couscous or fresh bread. Its health benefits stem from nutrient-dense ingredients: lean proteins, fiber-rich vegetables, and heart-healthy olive oil. The use of warming spices provides antioxidants, which support overall health. However, some recipes may include added sugars or high-fat cuts of meat, which should be consumed in moderation for a balanced diet. Tajine is both a cultural delight and a nutritious option when prepared mindfully.
