Tajine is dishware used for cooking.

Tajine is dishware used for cooking, has a conical shape, and is made of heated clay; historically, used by the Berber of North Africa and used primarily in Morrocco. Tajine is part of the Morrocan food culture. To make a tajine, you don't need to stir while cooking, so arranges the ingredients for a good presentation; for an excellent taste, allow the tajine to cook slowly.
I had an opportunity to eat tajine while visiting Morrocco with my parents. We all gathered around the table and used bread to scoop the vegetables, sauce, and meat; the food was excellent.
Each Moroccan region has its way of preparing tajine. With my parents, we visited Djemaa El Fna Square in Marrakech; it's a tourist destination; anyone visiting Marrakech has to see Dejemaa El Fna Square; it's a marketplace where you find all kinds of entertainment and different merchands and excellent food. Besides the tajine, I tried couscous with vegetables and meat; the bakery is a fantastic dessert.
My mother is from Morocco; after getting her baccalaureate in Science, my mother went to study in Belgium, where she spent four years in Bruxelles; after that, she had an opportunity to move to the United States, where she got her BA and master's degree in actuarial Science.
Being an American and Moroccan makes me curious to explore more about Morrocan culture and tradition.
