Aziza Benchekrouns Five-day Preserved Lemon Special Recipe
Yield: 1 batchRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 Recipe: below,
Directions:
If you run out of preserved lemons, or decide on just a few days
notice to cook a chicken, lamb, or fish dish with lemons and olives
and need preserved lemons in a hurry, you can use this quick five-day
method taught to me by a Moroccan diplomats wife. Lemons preserved
this way will not keep, but are perfectly acceptable in an emergency.
With a razor blade, make 8 fine 2" vertical incisions around the peel
of each lemon to be used. (Do not cut deeper than the membrane that
protects the pulp.) Place the incised lemons in a stainless-steel
saucepan with plenty of salt and water to cover and boil until the
peels become very soft. Place in a clean jar, covered with cooled
cooking liquor, and leave to pickle for approximately 5 days.
