Questions

Can I make Beghrir gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1.5 cups fine semolina, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Beghrir keep?

Blend the base ahead and freeze it for up to a month, then re-blend it briefly before serving. Once assembled it does not keep; the texture goes as it melts, so eat it right away.

Can I halve or double Beghrir?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
