Why Choose Moroccan Preserved Meyer Lemon?
Moroccan Preserved Lemon is a rub for raw meat, fish and vegetables; and an essential baking and cocktail ingredient that moonlights as a cheese pairing.
Savory & Sweet
For savory dishes, Moroccan Preserved Lemon shines in tomato-based broths, braises and tagines, adding complexity to all the other ingredients.
If & When also adds a floral note to soft cheeses like ricotta (start with a teaspoon) and deepens when mixed a day in advance.
In desserts, the Moroccan blend replaces lemon juice and zest, adding umami from spices. When marinating fruit with sugar and preserved lemon, you can often reduce the sugar since If & When draws out the fruit’s natural sweetness.
Due to the natural curing process, color variations from yellow to amber are normal and do not affect the flavor or quality.
Usage Tips
In small quantities, If & When enhances the flavor of every ingredient in a recipe, making each a better version of itself.
Measure with a teaspoon or to taste. The longer If & When rests on raw food before cooking, the stronger the flavor and the less you need.
