Directions
Needing One Preserved Lemon, Now!!, This is another of those kitchen hint recipes ! You might want to make a nice Moroccan dish, or some recipe calling for a preserved lemon, which you do not have at hand This little recipe is supposed to help you out , I’ve bypassed recipes calling for preserved lemon simply because of the amount of salt required This recipe worked out perfectly and was very easy and the rind was tender and not bitter at all I had the lemon in a glass measuring cup and inserted the whole thing into a water bath in a pot on the stove set to low for about an hour or so , This is quite simple and worked well (as far as I can tell – I’ve never had preserved lemon before) Keeping the water warm enough is key, it seems It took me more than an hour to get it right because I wasn’t monitoring the temperature, but I wasn’t in a huge hurry, so I put it in a large coffee cup and put it in the microwave for a minute or two from time to time Next day it seemed like it was ready Thanks for a new cooking experience!

Put It in a Small Bowl With Just a Little Room at the Sides (non-Metal, Non-Plastic; Glass Is Best). If You Don't Have a Suitably Deep Bowl For an Almost Whole Lemon, Cut the Lemon Right Through Into 4 Separate Quarters. |
