  • About

Preserved lemons are an integral part of Moroccan cooking. With their unusual and aromatic flavor, they give couscous, vegetables, and stews a certain je ne sais quoi.

Ingredients

  • 8 lemons
  • 1 fresh red chile
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ¾

Method

  1. Juice 2 of the lemons and set the juice aside.
  2. Wash the remaining 4 lemons well with hot water. Leaving them attached at one end, cut the lemons into quarters.
  3. Halve the chile lengthwise. Crush the garlic.
  4. Pack the cuts in the lemons with salt, then place the lemons in a sterilized 1-quart (1 L) canning jar with the chile, garlic, and pepper
