Walnut Ghriba
If you were sitting in our family salon right now, I would serve you this. A gluten-free delicacy. Rich, chewy cookies made primarily from ground walnuts, with a beautiful cracked texture. 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.
