Coconut and Semolina Ghoriba
If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. Chewy, moist, and incredibly fragrant cookies made from desiccated coconut and fine semolina, heavily dusted with icing sugar. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
