Sellou

A dense, nutty no-bake Moroccan sweet made from toasted flour, sesame seeds, almonds, and honey.

Ingredients

• 700g merguez sausage
• 300g crusty bread
• 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
• 1 tsp saffron threads
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 red onions, chopped
• a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• preserved lemon, to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with butter.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flatbread and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, blend the toasted almonds with the chicken stock until smooth and well incorporated.

4. 4

   Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 20 mins.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.

7. 7

   Garnish with cilantro or a dusting of dried apricots.
