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.
Textured vegetable protein burgers, or burritos. Soy protein can also be used as a low cost/high nutrition extender in comminuted meat and poultry products, and in tuna salads. Food service, retail and institutional (primarily school lunch and correctional) facilities regularly use such "extended" products. Extension may result in diminished flavor, although extra seasoning can suffice, but fat and cholesterol levels are decreased. TVP being used by itself as a substitute has no fat at all, and can be effectively seasoned to taste like red meat. Textured vegetable protein can be found in natural food stores and larger supermarkets, usually in the bulk section.
