A tagine (Arabic: طاجين‎ tajin from the Persian: تابه‎)^[1] is a historically Berber^[2] dish from North Africa that is named after the special earthenware pot in which it is cooked. 

A similar dish, known as tavvas, is found in the cuisine of Cyprus. The traditional tagine pot is formed entirely of a heavy clay, which is sometimes painted or glazed. It consists of two parts: a base unit that is flat and circular with low sides and a large cone- or dome-shaped cover that sits on the base during cooking. The cover is designed to promote the return of all condensation to the bottom. With the cover removed, the base can be taken to the table for serving. Tajines are also used and made in Morocco.
