Moroccan Food 101, Episode 1: Argan Oil & Amlou Recipe

Toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Allow toasted almonds to cool slightly before transferring to a food processor.

Process almonds until they form a smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add argan oil to the almond paste and continue processing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix honey, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Combine the honey mixture with the almond and oil paste in the food processor.

Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of water to reach desired consistency.

Transfer the Amlou to a serving bowl.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Serve with bread or as a dip for fruits.
