Today’s recipe is an Algerian special dish! Adapted from Meghan Markle’s community cookbook “TOGETHER”.
In Algeria “LHAM LAHLOU” is served daily during Ramadan, it’s sweet since it has a lot of dried fruits, they eat it last in the meal like a dessert(as mentioned in the book).
I found it convenient as an appetiser, but I adjusted the sugar quantity to our taste.
It’s a must try guys 😍!!!
