Preserved Lemons RecipeOrigin: North Africa Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:
2 whole lemons Preparation
Preserved Lemons Preparation:Method:Clean two large lemons and dry them thoroughly. Remove the ends then cut into eight sections. Place in a bowl and toss with about 180g of coarse sea salt. Pack these lemon slices into a large airtight jar so that they fit snugly. Squeeze the juice from sufficient fresh lemons so that the lemon juice completely covers the lemons in the jar. Secure the lid tightly and place in the refrigerator. Each day for the next seven days give the jar a shake. After a week, the lemons will have softened and intensified in flavour, making them ready for use. Once you open the jar to remove the couple of sections add a thin layer of olive oil to keep the air out and keep stored in the fridge. |
