Tajine

A tagine or tajine, also tajin or tagin is a Maghrebi dish, and also the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called maraq or marqa. The Arabic طاجين (ṭajīn) is derived from Ancient Greek τάγηνον (tágēnon) 'frying-pan, saucepan'. According to some sources, the origin of the word 'tagine' is Persian, pronounced "ته چین". In the 1990s, the late Dr. Vivien Swan identified pottery from various sites on Scotland's Antonine Wall, built by the Numidian governor of Roman Britain, Quintus Lollius Urbicus, of a North African style, one being a casserole dish that may have been a precursor to the modern tagine. Fragments of tagines have also been identified among Numidian ceramics in modern-day Tunisia.
