Recipes

From terroir to pastry

Recipes from our kitchen in Marrakech. Each one gives the amount of DXN product per serving, the temperature it goes in at, and the children's portion, set aside first.

Moroccan pastry, home-style

The children's portion is set aside before the DXN product, and every adult piece carries a whole almond: the marker almond. On the tray, everyone knows which piece is theirs.

The kitchen, in numbers

No promises: degrees, tablets and sachets. Here is when each DXN product goes into the recipe, and how many servings one pack gives.

The taste thermometer

  1. 20 °CColdTruffles, amlou, sellou, juices and smoothies: spirulina or RG is stirred in last, with no heat.
  2. 40 °CLukewarmBelboula after resting, the meskouta glaze: wait until the mixture is just lukewarm.
  3. 85 °CInfusionCoffee and tea: hot, not boiling, water over one sachet per cup.
  4. 170 °COvenOnly the ghriba goes in the oven, with coffee in the dough. Spirulina and RG never do.

Heat fades phycocyanin, the blue pigment in spirulina, which is why spirulina is never baked or boiled, as explained in this source.

The children's portion first

  1. Make the recipe without the DXN product, then set the children's portion aside.
  2. Add the DXN product to the adult portion only, at the right temperature.
  3. Place a whole almond on every adult piece: the marker almond.
  4. Never put a DXN product in a child's lunchbox.

Who should ask a doctor first?

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Children.
  • People taking medicines or other supplements.
  • People sensitive to caffeine, for coffee and tea.
