苏斯地区阿马齐格人的能量糊,烤大麦粉加阿甘油和蜂蜜揉成团。是阿甘油经济区的特产,耐存耐饥,山民出门携带。

来比斯是苏斯地区阿马齐格人的能量糊,用烤过的大麦粉加阿甘油和蜂蜜揉成团。苏斯,即阿加迪尔以南的阿甘油产区,是阿甘树唯一生长的地方,阿甘油是当地的标志食材。来比斯把大麦的碳水、阿甘油的脂肪和蜂蜜的糖三者合一,是山里人出门干活或长途旅行时携带的干粮,一小团就能撑半天。它与已有的阿姆鲁酱,阿甘杏仁蜂蜜酱,关系密切,但来比斯用大麦粉而非杏仁粉,更朴素、更耐饥。这道菜反映了阿马齐格人对当地植物资源的深度利用。

浓密、油润、极甜,大麦的烘烤香和阿甘油的坚果脂香融为一体。一小团入口,半天不饿。

烤大麦粉的淀粉在高温下糊化,产生烘烤香气和可储存的干燥质地。阿甘油富含不饱和脂肪酸和维生素E,是来比斯的营养核心。蜂蜜既是甜味剂也是黏合剂,把干粉和油捏成团。三者合一后水分极低,因此来比斯在常温下可存数日不坏。

Variations

有的用橄榄油代替阿甘油,但风味大减。加芝麻增香。做成小球更方便携带。

How it's made

5 steps · 30 min

  1. 1
    8 min

    Toast 2 cups barley flour in a dry pan until fragrant, 8 min.

    Watch out

    Toast the barley flour just until it smells nutty — take it too far and the whole confection tastes scorched.

  2. 2
    5 min

    Mix with 1/2 cup argan oil and 1/3 cup honey while warm.

    Watch out

    Mix in the oil and honey while the flour is still warm — cold flour won't take up the honey and the paste won't bind into a ball.

  3. 3
    5 min

    Knead into a dense paste.

  4. 4
    5 min

    Shape into balls or a log.

  5. 5
    3 min

    Wrap and store; eat in small pieces.
