Called a cataplana
Yes, Pat is correct it is a Cataplan pan: see below and here is a recipe to try in yours! CHORIZO AND MUSSELS CATAPLANA STEW
Ingredients
*Before cooking, ensure that your cataplana pot is free of lacquer and completely dry.
Directions
Remove from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Carefully open the cataplana — beware of steam. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
Might be a bit late for reply, but it feel like a duty to inform you that this pan most likely is a very rare example of a cataplana pan. The common cataplana´s is made in a simpler maner and not as robust as yours (can tell be the hammered surface, that yours is made out of thicker copper than the traditional portuguese made pans). This is a true keeper!
It is an old Indian or Turkish mining lunch box / pot. :) or you can call it a Chapati
