tajines

Chefchaouen, Morocco

These curiously shaped objects are called "tajines" and they are used to cook a dish of the same name typically made in Morocco.  It consists of a slowly-cooked meat, chicken or fish combined with vegetables and/or fruit.  The narrow cone-shaped lid is key for trapping the steam inside making for a delicious meal.  Be sure to try it when you're in Morocco!  You'll be glad you did!
