Tajine Dishes: The Essentials of Oriental Cuisine

The Beldi tagine dish , of Berber origin, is the essential cooking utensil for making dishes with oriental flavors. This terracotta tagine dish is ideal for braising, thus preserving the unique aromas and textures of the food. If you want to get a tagine dish , but don't know how to choose the right one, don't worry! This complete guide to tagine dishes will enlighten you on the dimensions, materials and important criteria to take into account to make the right choice.

What is a Tajine?

The Beldi tagine dish is traditionally a clay dish used in the Maghreb. This tagine dish consists of two parts: a wide, hollow and round dish, and a conical lid. Its unique shape allows good diffusion of heat and aromas in the dish, which is essential for the success of your recipes. Note that the word tagine refers to both the culinary preparation and the dish used to cook it. The recipe for tagine varies from one region to another and comes in many forms, often based on lamb, potatoes, cooked vegetables, semolina, prunes, olives, cumin, coriander and preserved lemon.

Why Buy a Beldi Tajine Dish?

The Beldi tagine dish is essential for making authentic traditional tagines. Only this type of dish allows for braising, giving the food it cooks its special texture. By choosing a tagine dish , you can be sure to prepare tasty dishes that will delight your guests.

The Beldi Terracotta Tajine Dish: Ideal for Successful Cooking

Beldi terracotta tagine dishes are perfect for retaining the heat and flavor of dishes. Originally, these dishes were placed on braziers, a cooking method that allows for gentle and even heat. The Beldi terracotta tagine dish is designed to fit perfectly into any modern kitchen. This traditional material ensures optimal heat diffusion, allowing ingredients to simmer slowly and evenly.

What Size Should You Choose for Your Tajine Dish?

The size of your Beldi tagine dish should be adapted to the number of people you want to cook for. The smallest tagines, measuring 23 to 24 centimeters, are considered suitable for preparing food for 4 people. However, for family meals with more guests, a tagine dish with a diameter of 34 centimeters is recommended, which can serve up to 12 people. The Beldi tagine dish is designed to cook large quantities of food while preserving the flavors.

How to Use a Beldi Tajine Dish?

Here are some tips to maximize the use of your Beldi tagine dish and ensure the durability of your dish:

  • Do not use it on high heat : the tagine must be cooked gently so that the food has time to simmer. Cooking too strongly can dry out the vegetables and make the meat elastic.
  • Avoid putting the dish in the dishwasher : simply clean it with lukewarm clear water, without dishwashing liquid, to preserve the authenticity of your tagine dish.
