Ghraiba Homs
Also known as: Ghrayba Homs
Tunisian chickpea-flour shortbread with roasted sesame and almonds.
About Ghraiba Homs
Ghraiba has several regional forms; this profile names Tunisia's ghraiba homs, distinguished by chickpea flour. The selected version enriches the crumb with sesame and almonds.
Chickpea flour gives a gently earthy, nutty base, while butter adds dairy richness and icing sugar keeps the sweetness fine. Roasted sesame and almond deepen the toasted flavour.
The small diamonds remain pale rather than browned, with a delicate, sandy shortbread texture that melts and crumbles in the mouth beneath the nut-and-seed topping.
