Preserved Lemons
A simple recipe for making preserved lemons, perfect for adding unique flavors to various dishes. For a zesty authentic taste. Preserved lemons are to be used in savory dishes. I love experimenting with flavors and I love cooking with preserved lemons. You can definitely enhance the cooking of Moroccan cuisine. My first experience with Lemon Preserved was in Casablanca, Morocco. It’s a common ingredient in the Moroccan kitchen. They stir up fond memories of my childhood. This fermentation takes about 2 months for the lemons to become tender, and even longer for the flavor to fully mature. Worth the wait! It provides a succulent flavor to your dish without the bitterness of the fresh lemons. The flavor can best be described as salty umami and slightly savory. Everything you need is Salt and Lemons, that’s it! No special canning equipment is needed or refrigeration is required.
