While you can use fresh lemons in many North African recipes, preserved lemons add a distinctive note to any dish. Unique in flavor and texture, they are a signature condiment in the North African kitchen. Preserved lemons must be prepared 3 to 4 weeks before using. Keep a constant supply in your pantry and you’ll probably find a way to use them even in dishes that are not North African in inspiration. I like them in vinaigrettes and as an addition to many fish recipes and vegetable dishes.
