Tajine Zitoun is a slow-cooked stew made with green olives, chicken or lamb, and carrots, often enhanced with mushrooms, lemon, and spiced with turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. This dish hails from Algeria’s northern regions, especially Constantine, and is known for its tangy, savory flavor profile. The olives are usually parboiled to reduce bitterness before simmering with the meat in a rich, golden sauce. Tajine Zitoun is a popular choice for family gatherings, weekend meals, and special occasions like Ramadan or weddings.

Common variations include versions with meatballs (kefta) or boneless chicken and sometimes topped with preserved lemon or hard-boiled eggs.
