Gazelle ankle

Kaab ghzal

Original name

Kaab ghzal
"Kaab Ghzal" means gazelle's ankle. The name of this pastry refers to its form (In France, this pastry is called gazelle horns).
An almond paste, flavored with orange flower water, is coated with a thin dough, thin til transparency.
To accompany the tea, or served to guests at weddings, "Kaab Ghzal" is a classic of Moroccan cuisine.

Although simple, this dish hides its complexity under basic presentation tunes. While fine paste and delicate cooking (necessary to keep the softness of the almond paste) are operations that requires a lot of techniques.

Like the other Moroccan pastries, "Kaab Ghzal" can be conserved long time, away from heat and moisture.
