MOROCCAN PRESERVED LEMONS
The lemons have to be cured for at least 1 month but then they will keep for many months in the fridge, where their flavor intensifies over time. They are preserved whole but only the peel is used in cooking, the flesh is discarded. If possible, use organic lemons.

Steps:
- Scrub lemons thoroughly under cold running water. Cut each lemon into quarters, but do not cut all the way through the top, so that the lemon still holds together.
- Rub lemons generously with salt inside and out and along all the cuts. Place them in a large sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add lukewarm water to cover; the lemons should be fully immersed. Screw on the lid and let cure for 1 month in a dark, dry, and cool place.

Steps:
- 1. If you wish to soften the peel, soak the lemons in lukewarm water for 3 days, changing the water daily.
- 2. Quarter the lemons from the top to within 1/2 inch of the bottom, sprinkle salt on the exposed flesh, then reshape the fruit.
- 3. Place 1 tablespoon salt on the bottom of the mason jar. Pack in the lemons and push them down, adding more salt, and the optional spices between layers. Press the lemons down to release their juices and to make room for the remaining lemons. (If the juice released from the squashed fruit does not cover them, add freshly squeezed lemon juice - not chemically produced lemon juice and not water.*) Leave some air space before sealing the jar.
- 4. Let the lemons ripen in a warm place, shaking the jar each day to distribute the salt and juice. Let ripen for 30 days. To use, rinse the lemons, as needed, under running water, removing and discarding the pulp, if desired - and there is no need to refrigerate after opening. Preserved lemons will keep up to a year, and the pickling juice can be used two or three times over the course of a year.
- According to the late Michael Field, the best way to extract the maximum amount of juice from a lemon is to boil it in water for 2 or 3 minutes and allow it to cool before squeezing.
- Paula Wolfert shares her tips with Epicurious:
- •Located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, south of Casablanca and north of Essaouira, the city of Safi is known for its seafood specialties. •To most closely approximate the flavor of Moroccan lemons, Wolfert recommends Meyer lemons for this recipe. This lemon/mandarin orange hybrid, in season in January and February, has yellow-orange flesh, a smooth rind, and a sweeter flavor than other lemons. •To sterilize a mason jar for the lemons, place it upside down in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes. Using tongs (wrap the ends in rubber bands for a better grip), remove the hot jar and dry it upside down on a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a warm oven. To sterilize the jar's top, boil it in water for 5 minutes, then remove with tongs.

This way, the remaining contents of the jar will not need to be refrigerated.
MOROCCAN STYLE SPICY PICKLED VEGETABLES
I love crunchy veggies & low cal options are always a plus. This recipe from chefbarrae caught my eye as a must try. I liked that it is diabetic friendly and think it would be picnic friendly. This dish is easy to prepare and stores well in the refrigerator for at least a week. I plan to try adding additional veggies such as celery and cauliflower too.

Steps:
- Make the marinade. Pour the vinegar and water into a sauce pan. Add all of the dried spices, herbs, julienned lemon zest and Splenda. Bring to a simmer and simmer on low for about 15 or 20 minutes. While the pickling blend is simmering bring another small pot of water to the boil. Blanch the carrots, onions and green pepper separately, cooking the carrots about 2 minutes, the onion and green pepper about 1 minute.
- Place all of the vegetables, including the tomatoes, garlic and olives into a large bowl or other vessel with a cover and gently stir to blend and evenly distribute them. Pour the hot pickling liquid over the top. Carefully stir so that all of the vegetables are submerged in the pickling liquid. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour and then cover and refrigerate. This needs to marinate overnight at the least but the longer it marinates the stronger and more flavorful it will become.

Pour the lemon juice over the lemons until they are submerged.
