The instruction manual usually includes some tips to respect for the first use. Ask people who know you or your dealer. If you do not use a cooking pot but rather the TAJINE terracotta, put the TAJINE on a very soft fire or if you are afraid to burn it, interpose an iron plate. And most importantly, be careful not to open before the end of cooking. In general, the cooking time depends on the meat that is used. But as an indication, a fish TAJINE requires between 1h15 and 1h45 of cooking time. A chicken TAJINE requires between 1h30 and 2h and a meat TAJINE requires between 1h30 and 2h30 of cooking time. For the latter or in any case, if you are in a hurry, cook in a pot (casserole, presto) marinated meat before transferring in the TAJINE with vegetables. 5 The cooking process in the TAJINE takes place from the inside to the outside. Arrange the ingredients to cook longer in the center. Specifically, you usually place the meat in the middle, with the vegetables around. Regardless of the recipe chosen, the basic TAJINE technique remains the same and is similar to the preparation of a stew:
- - Cut the meat into pieces of equal size for even cooking.
- - In the TAJINE or a large pot, heat olive oil.
- - Cook chopped onion, or any flavor that is specific to the recipe.
- - Brown the meat in the oil in turn. (Do not fry the fish, which will instead be placed on the mixture of herbs, spices and liquid when cooked.)
- - Add vegetables and spices.
- - Cover with water, bring to a boil, and reduce heat and cover.
- - Simmer at least an hour over low heat. The longer the TAJINE is cooked slowly, the softer and more fragrant it will be.
- - It is sometimes necessary to add ingredients during cooking: follow the recipe for this purpose.
