Tajine Tajine A tajine or tagine (Moroccan Arabic طجين tažin, from Arabic: طاجن tājun; Tifinagh: ⵜⴰⵊⵉⵏ) is a Maghrebi dish which is named after the earthenware pot in which it is cooked. It is also called a Maraq/marqa in North Africa. From Moroccan Arabic طجين "tažin", from Arabic طاجن "tājun" "shallow earthen pot", from "tagēnon" "frying-pan, saucepan". The tagine dates back to Harun al-Rashid who was a ruler of the Early Muslim conquests. The earliest writings about the concept of cooking in a tajine appear in the famous "One Thousand and One Nights", an Arabic-language story collection from the ninth century.
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein Hydrolyzed vegetable protein Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) products are foodstuffs obtained by protein hydrolysis and are used as ingredients with an authentic bouillon (broth) taste.
