Moroccan Pastilles
Leftovers repurposed into the best bite ever!Â
If you’ve never had these, now is the time to try them. They are truly crazy YUM!Â
This is my Childhood, my French Moroccan Grandmother, Meme, would make this for every holiday meal, albeit in triangles. Cigar shape is easier though!
Also an awesome way to use up leftovers from all the meals we are going to have. Not only no waste but so budget friendly.Â
