The Tanjia before being a dish, it's an earthenware jar for slow cooking on coals. The original recipe of Marrakech is made with veal shanks, cumin, rancid butter and preserved lemon.
For meat lovers, no doubt it will be a treat!rnThe pieces of meat, spices (mostly cumin in large quantities), #confit lemon# , saffron and other ingredients are placed in the Tanjia, then drizzled with very little of water.No risk that it burns. The dish is cooked on the coals (In the public oven of the neighborhood), very slowly (6 to 8 hours). The meat is tender and tasty at the same time, the sauce is very concentrated in flavor.
