Why Moroccan Preserved Meyer Lemon?
Moroccan Preserved Lemon is a rub for raw meat and fish, and an essential baking ingredient and cocktail mixer that moonlights as a cheese pairing.
Sweet & Savory
In desserts such as fruit pies and cobblers, the Moroccan paste shines as a replacement for lemon juice and zest, adding umami from the spices cured with the citrus.
For many dessert recipes, we macerate and marinate the fruit by adding sugar and preserved lemon at the same time, letting the fruit rest to draw out its natural sweetness before baking. This technique often allows for less sugar in the final dish.
If & When adds a floral bouquet to soft cheeses like ricotta when combined (start with a teaspoon) and deepens in flavor if mixed a day in advance.
In savory dishes, the Moroccan blend excels in tomato-based broths and braises, adding complexity to the other flavors.
Usage Tips
If & When doesn’t overpower in small quantities—it enhances each element of a dish, making it a better version of itself.
Due to the natural curing process, color variations from yellow to amber are normal and do not affect the flavor or quality.
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.
