Nice to know

The tajine is a Moroccan, mostly earthenware pot that consists of a round plate and a high lit in the form of a cone. This form will help the dish to be steamed thoroughly, which will optimally mix all flavors. The earthenware slowly absorbs the heat and will retain the warmth for a long time. The tajine is very versatile. It can be used to prepare a dish in a short time. Meat, fish and vegetables can be grilled. Dishes can also be slowly stewed. The moisture that is released during the preparation will fall down in the round plate of the tajine, which will keep the ingredients juicy and the meat tender. This will also lead to a delicious sauce. The food can be served from the tajine. Because preparation in a tajine will maintain all juices and flavors, it is mostly a true sensation of flavors to open the tajine in presence of the guests.

	Rub Portuguese Enjoy the typically Portuguese piri piri flavor, that goes so well with chicken and shrimps. Mild and spicy at the same time thanks to the clever mixture of sea salt, brown sugar, and other herbs and spices.
	Ketch'up Carrot New: carrot ketchup! Surprisingly delicious for both young and old. The sweet and sour taste is great with meat, fish, French fries, a BBQ or pasta. Without any artificial additives or preservatives.
