摩洛哥人的Couscous健康烹調法, tajine or tagine (中文叫塔津) ,
典型的tajine 鍋是圓錐形的 陶鍋，若干陶鍋上光,
陶鍋分兩個部分, 以底部圓形盤子, 圓錐形頂部,
圓錐形蓋子概念, 是水蒸汽會升到最上層的蓋子再 凝聚冷卻下來。

The traditional tajine pot is formed entirely of a heavy clay which is sometimes painted or glazed. It consists of two parts; a base unit which is flat and circular with low sides, and a large cone or dome-shaped cover that rests inside the base during cooking. The cover is so designed to promote the return of all condensation to the bottom. With the cover removed, the base can be taken to the table for serving

Maroccan tajines often combine lamb or chicken with a medley of ingredients or seasonings: olives, quinces, apples, pears, apricots, raisins, prunes, dates, nuts, with fresh or preserved lemons, with or without honey, with or without a complexity of spices. Traditional spices that are used to flavour tajines include ground cinnamon, saffron, ginger, turmeric, cumin, paprika, pepper, as well as the famous spice blend Ras el hanout.
Other ingredients for a tajine include any product that braises well: fish, quail, pigeon, beef, root vegetables, legumes, even amber and aga wood. Modern recipes in the West include pot roasts, ossobuco, lamb shanks and turkey legs. Seasonings can be traditional Moroccan spices, French, Italian or suited to the dish.
While simmering, the cover can be lifted off without the aid of a mitten, enabling the cook to inspect the main ingredients, add vegetables, move things around, or add additional braising liquid.
Most tagines involve slow simmering of less-expensive meats. For example, the ideal cuts of lamb are the neck, shoulder or shank cooked until it is falling off the bone. Very few Moroccan tagines require initial browning; if there is to be browning it is invariably done after the lamb has been simmered and the flesh has become butter-tender and very moist. In order to accomplish this, the cooking liquid must contain some fat, which may be skimmed off later.
No matter what the month, there is a tree somewhere in Morocco bearing fruit for the tajine pot. The combinations may seem unlikely at times, but I guarantee you will find them delicious: lamb with olives, quinces, apples, pears, raisins, prunes, dates, with or without honey, with or without a complexity of spices.
In the fall, use greening or wine sap apples. In the summer, try fresh apricots, or the type of hard, fuzzy, green crab apples called, in Morocco, lehmenn. In winter, I recommend the heavy and rich tagines made with prunes or dates, and, anytime of the year, lemon and olives.
couscous是一种用小麥制成的粮食，样子有点像小米。在北非、西非、法國和意大利，是人们把它蒸過，跟炖過的肉或者菜一起吃。
其法國市面賣的 Couscous , 只需用滾水或滾湯注入Couscous再焗10分鐘左右就像飯一樣了。
