Moroccan Sellou with Almonds and Sesame Seeds
Sellou is an iconic Moroccan dessert, often prepared for special occasions like Ramadan or births. Its richness in almonds and sesame gives it a melt-in-the-mouth texture and an irresistibly fragrant taste. Wondering what the essential spices in Moroccan cuisine are? Cinnamon and anise are highlighted here, but saffron, cumin, and ginger are also must-haves. This dish answers the question: what is the difference between Moroccan pastilla and bastila? In fact, they are the same, 'pastilla' being the Spanish version. Sellou is a treat in its own right, to be enjoyed with mint tea.
