About this dish
Qrashel or Krachel (Moroccan Arabic: قراشل) or Lgorss (Moroccan Arabic: لڭرص) are Moroccan traditional sweet sesame rolls, made with anise and fennel. They can be served with tea or coffee, and dipped in cheese, olive oil, jam or honey. The rolls are similar to French brioche, but the anise seeds give them an extra flavor. Qrashel are known in Moroccan cuisine at least since the late Wattasid and early Saadian era (mid 16th century). The Wattasid governor of Marrakesh, Nasser Bouchentouf, was notoriously murdered with poisoned Qrashel.
