Gary I believe the word you're looking for is "Tagin" , A "Tagin" being that clay pot where you put all the ingredients in the oven, practically anything can be in "Tagin" including chicken, fish or even vegetables like okra, a personal favorite of mine,Not being even a halfway decent cook, I'm afraid there is nothing i can say, but a "Tagin" has lots of onions, herbs and a bunch of other stuff. Look it up in " Beef Tagin" or "Egyptian Tagin"....... http://www.recipehound.com/Recipes/egypt.html
try this link till a better cook shows up.....mmmm it has pigeons "tagin", Fish tagin and I think beef tagin..... mebbe that's the one you're looking for? ?????
Good Luck .

Raymon,
I think since 1- it was served in a clay pot 2- it was in Egypt it was probably the "tagin" ....only misspelled What is Tajine?

Rimo: Tajine is a morrocan meal.. very famous aound the world same as COS COS and HARIRRAH ( the famous soup ).. Tajine normally consists of beef/lamp and Vegitbales. and I would think there is no differnce bteween TAGIN as egyptian food and Tajine as morrocan one,,, I mean in the basis as meat and Vegi but ingredints could be differnt and .. herbs.. spice.. Now Gary if you are in Uk then you can find Tajine in so many resturants speically in London. Mohsen

COS COS is the most famous north african dish... mostly in Morroco .. it is the traditional dish and it is widley used in Algeria and Tunisia as well not sure about Lybia .,, but in Egypt is used by differnt concept... COS COS is kind of Pasta which you can eat with Vegi, Checkin or Meet .. In Egypt it is normally with sugar as weet .. this in the city but in country side thsy eat with sose... lamp..etc.. Harirah is the best and most rich soup you can evry eat in your life .. mixed with nuts and if you are in france for instance you will find millions of resturants in Paris service all these types of food.. also can be found in London but on small capacity... enjoy the food.. opps enjoy reading I mean
