Argan Oil

I love using a few drops of flavoured oil as a simple salad dressing. My absolute favourite is argan oil from Morocco, or from Harvey Nicols in Leeds if you're me! I first had it when my friend Gill brought me some back from her holiday in Morocco. Don't you just love people who bring you things to eat! It's a delicious sweet nutty oil which is also a fantastic garnish dripped on to a summer pea soup.

If you've ever seen those pictures of goats up trees it's the argan they're climbing and contrary to popular myth the oil does NOT come from the nuts the goats have eaten and digested!

Thanks to Berberman on ukcampsite for the picture.

Not only is it a delicious ingredient, but it's a fabulous beauty product AND a way of supporting the women of Morocco.
