Tajine mtewem, usually abbreviated to mtewem, is a traditional Algerian dish, and more specifically Algerine. It is made from minced meatballs, pieces of chicken or lamb meat, garlic, chickpeas and almonds. Its sauce is prepared with a grated onion and a lot of garlic and is usually cooked in a tajine pot. Like most Algerian dishes, it is usually served with either a white or red spicy sauce.
