Just a little introduction to Moroccan tagines:

Moroccan food is unique, healthier, delicious and also synonym of complexity. The primary appeal of a Moroccan meal is the Tagine. A Tagine is both the conical shaped clay-based pot and the entre itself that often consists in a chicken, lamb or beef stew along with one or more vegetables.

The dish: Cocktails, Kalamata Olives, cheeses and beef kabobs, as snacks, are a great way to start out your evening, accompanied by an eggplant salad. Use some hot pita bread for both the salad as well as the entre. Now, comes the actual attraction, the famous Tagine.

Although they may be hard to find, Tagines have grown to be more popular. Traditional Tagines are only made in Morocco and also out of clay and not stainless steel.

Cooking food in clay improves the taste throughout the cooking process. Make sure the Tagines are free of lead and safe to cook as many out there in the market place contain lead and therefore represent a health hazard. For a gathering greater than 4 people use the Tagine to serve and also present instead of cooking in it unless you possess more than one.

Make sure to keep the dinner a secret from start to finish before you reveal the cover table side or even as being a center piece. If you'd like to be bold and still have a great time get all your visitors eat using the pita bread and their fingers (there's Moroccan manners for finger eating also).
