Sellou

What we know so far

Sellou is the Moroccan energy sweet: flour browned in the oven, ground fried almonds and ground toasted sesame, bound with butter or oil and sweetened with icing sugar, scented with cinnamon and anise. It is not baked; it is a rich, crumbly mixture pressed into a dome and decorated with whole almonds, eaten by the spoonful. It is made in huge batches before Ramadan, because a spoon of sellou with harira restores a fasting body, and it is given to new mothers and served at weddings.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
