Tajine

A tajine or tagine is a North African dish, named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called maraq or marqa. The Arabic طجين (ṭažin) is derived from Ancient Greek τάγηνον (tágēnon) 'frying-pan, saucepan'. According to Rebecca Jones, 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 tajine. Fragments of tajines have also been identified among Numidian ceramics in modern-day Tunisia.
