Tajines are used as a stove-top slow cooker in Morocco. The slow simmering effect on less-expensive cuts of meat turns them into tender meat dishes with aromatic veggies and sauce. While simmering, the conical top remains cool to the touch while promoting the return of all the condensation to the pot. Chef Matt will be preparing several dishes using tajines. Class is limited to 16.
