Egyptian Preserved Lemon image

Provided by Chef Mireille

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon salt (I used Himalayan pink salt)
1 cup boiled water
Lemon Ingredients:
5 organic lemons
1 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons I used Himalayan pink salt
1 1/2 tablespoons black onion seed/nigella
1 1/2 tablespoons ground dried safflower (or saffron threads)

Steps:

  • To prepare the jar. Dissolve salt in the boiling water. Pour in the glass jar you will be using to ferment the lemons. Let it cool.
  • Wash the lemons well with cold water. Combine lemons and water in a pot. Heat on the stove and turn off just before it comes to a boil, about minutes.
  • Slice off the ends the lemons. Quarter the lemons, cutting them open but not all the way through.
  • In a small bowl, combine salt, nigella and safflower. Sprinkle a little of this mix on the insides of each lemon.
  • Place in the glass jar, cover and leave it at room temperature for 2 weeks.
  • Refrigerate and use as desired.

PRESERVED LEMONS MIDDLE EASTERN STYLE

This is Stephanie Alexander's recipe and it's one of the simplest I've seen. I have 2 jars on top of my fridge and they look great as well as adding an incredible depth of citrus flavour to foods. Let the lemons mature for at least 4 weeks before using, and the final result keeps a whole year without refrigerating, so get your old empty jars out!

Categories     Lemon

Time 15m

Yield 1 Jar

Number Of Ingredients 6

250 g coarse salt, kitchen
10 lemons, scrubbed and quartered
1 bay leaf
2 -3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
extra lemon juice

Steps:

  • Scatter a spoonful of salt into a 1 litre sterilised jar.
  • Tip lemons into a wide tub with the rest of the salt and and mix and massage vigorously.
  • Pack the lemons into the jar, cut side to the middle, inserting pieces of bay leaf, cloves and bits of the cinnamon every so often.
  • Tip all the salt left in tub over lemons and press down as hard as you can to squeeze the juice out of the quarters.
  • Cover with extra juice if you need to ( any exposed lemon may develop a harmless white mould. It's safe but just doesn't look pretty.).
  • Wipe the neck of the jar with a clean cloth dipped in boiling water and cap tightly. You're done!
