quest for the perfect tajine
Liane Young: Tajine (San Francisco, CA) April 14, 2008
Author: Liane Young20.04.2008
Tajine in SF made for a delicious experience. As an aspiring vegetarian, I was particularly grateful for the three fully vegetarian tajines on the menu, in addition to the appetizers — (1) a tasty split pea soup with cayenne that, for lack of spoons, we quickly transformed into dip with the available bread, and (2) some sort of quiche-like pie (bastilla?), savory but with powdered sugar — this was so good that I considered ordering a second for my entree but ultimately opted for variety over certain deliciousness.
Tajine was out of one of the veg tajines, so we had, I believe, veg tajine with artichoke and peas, cous cous with veggies (usually not a fan of cous cous but enjoyed this for whatever reason — perhaps it was the turnips), and also a meat-based tajine with poached eggs and garlic. All of this was wonderful, though I don’t think anything I ate was served in a tajine. Not that I minded.
