Recipe of the week: amlou cinnamon knots • Something special happens when cinnamon and puff pastry come together, says Nargisse Benkabbou; it’s like culinary alchemy. And these knots are extra special because they include amlou, often referred to as “Moroccan Nutella”, a paste traditionally made with roasted almond butter, honey and argan oil. The amlou in this recipe is slightly thicker than normal so that it can be used to fill the knots without running out of the rolls during baking. Eat while warm – but they will keep in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
