Preserved lemon

Preserved lemon

Preserved lemon is a citrus preparation that is technically a pickle, rather than a preserve. Common in Middle Eastern cuisine, it is also known as "country lemon" or "leems". Diced, halved, or perfectly whole lemons are packed in a simple brine made up of a combination of water, lemon juice, and salt. The flesh of the preserved lemon can be used in stews and sauces, but it is the rind that is most valued. Simply wash before using to remove any surface salt, or blanch to remove all of the salt and bring out the natural mild sweetness, and then slice, chop, or mince as needed for the texture of the dish. The key ingredient to many Moroccan dishes like stews and tagines, the flavor is mildly tart but intensely lemony.
