The Tajine Pot is perfect for slow cooking and preserving foods' natural flavors. This Moroccan-style pot is made of dark brown clay and features a unique conical shape. The lid of the pot also has a cone-like shape, which allows steam to circulate and cook food evenly.

Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or pressed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
1/8 teaspoon ras el hanout, or to taste, optional
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or cilantro, plus more for optional garnish
- 4 to 5 carrots, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch thick sticks
- 1 cup water
- 2 to 3 teaspoons honey, or to taste
-
2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, drained
- 1 or 2 small chile peppers, optional

1/4 cup golden raisins, optional
Directions:

- In the base of a Tajine or in a large skillet with a lid, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil over medium-low heat for several minutes.
- Add the salt, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, ras el hanout, parsley or cilantro, carrots, and the water.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then continue cooking, covered, until the carrots are nearly cooked to desired tenderness. In a skillet, this may take up to 25 minutes, in a Tajine a bit longer.
