Chlorelle Panonica

Marodi

In collaboration with celebrated Croatian chef Matija Bogdan, we present Chlorelle Panonica — a soulful dish that blends the rustic warmth of northern Croatia with the innovation of Marodi’s Chlorelle, chlorella-infused tagliatelle from our Superfoodie line. This recipe reimagines traditional flavours through a modern lens, rooted in the rich culinary heritage of the Pannonian plain.


Inspired by temfanje, a hearty regional chicken stew from Međimurje, the dish begins with golden-seared chicken legs and thighs, gently stewed in a base of caramelised onions, garlic, smoked paprika, white wine, and bay leaf. A silky emulsion of sour cream and flour brings depth and body to the ragù, simmered until creamy and smooth.


Why Chlorelle? As Chef Bogdan explains: “Chlorelle pasta is rich in umami — it balances the acidity of the sour cream sauce and deepens the roasted chicken flavour. Its bold texture connects beautifully with the traditional richness of Međimurje cuisine.”


Cooked al dente and stirred into the sauce, Chlorelle adds vitality, earthiness, and visual character. Chlorelle Panonica is a bridge between old and new — comforting, honest, and full of character.
