Meat in a tajine
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. If you want to cook meat with vegetables, try doing it in a tagine. This cooking method is very popular in the East. And it's no surprise, since in a tagine all the ingredients turn out very juicy and tender (even meat like beef). Once the dish is ready, it can be served at the table.
