Argan oil

Roasted Moroccan kernel, hand-pressed and priced like it. Nutty, faintly goaty, worth the fuss.

12 pairings for Argan oil.

Couscous

common

Roasted argan is nut-oil at maximum; a spoonful over steam is the whole seasoning.

Bread

common

Dip it plain. The oil is expensive enough that nothing else belongs in the bowl.

Carrot

common

Roast the root, dress it warm. The oil supplies the toast the oven missed.

Orange

uncommon

Cinnamon, orange segments, a slick of kernel oil. Morocco calls it a salad.

Saffron

uncommon

Safranal needs fat, and this one has enough roast to stand next to it.

Salt-fermented rind is harsh alone. Kernel fat rounds it without hiding it.

Date

uncommon

Dried-fruit sugar over roasted nut. The whole souk stall on one plate.

The oil carries a faint caprylic note itself, so this doubles down on purpose.

Roasted kernel pyrazines under cocoa, with the argan supplying all the salt.

Raw shellfish sugar under roasted kernel fat. Morocco has not tried it yet.
