How to use this prompt

The steam is the subject, and steam is invisible unless it is backlit, so the prompt puts warm light through a doorway behind the pot and calls the plume backlit and glowing. Front light makes steam vanish against the food. The conical lid is the tagine's signature shape, so name it — a generic pot lid loses the dish entirely. Keep the lid only just lifted, mid-motion, because a lid set aside is a static serving shot. Terracotta and saffron tones tie the vessel to the food and keep the palette coherent.

Variations to try

  • The tagine still sealed, steam just beginning to escape the rim
  • Two hands carrying the tagine to the table on a woven mat
