PRESERVED LEMONS



Preserved Lemons image

This is Paula Wolfert's original recipe from her 1973 book "Couscous and Other Good Food From Morocco," but I leave out the warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom so that the flavors are adaptable. The brightness of this pickle has lately elbowed its way out of Morocco's tagines. New York chefs add the minced peel to salads and garnish fried seafood with it; the cured-lemon flavor is particularly friendly to salmon, carrots, olives, parsley and potatoes. The lemony brine is great in a bloody mary.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

9 organic lemons
Kosher salt
1 heaping teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Scrub 3 to 5 organic lemons, enough to fit snugly in a medium jar with a tight-fitting lid (have 2 to 4 more ready on the side). Slice each lemon from the top to within 1/2 inch of the bottom, almost cutting them into quarters but leaving them attached at one end. Rub kosher salt over the cut surfaces, then reshape the fruit. Cover the bottom of the jar with more kosher salt. Fit all the cut lemons in, breaking them apart if necessary. Sprinkle salt on each layer.
  • Press the lemons down to release their juices. Add to the jar the peppercorns and bay leaves, then squeeze the additional lemons into the jar until juice covers everything.
  • Close the jar and let ripen at cool room temperature, shaking the jar every day for 3 to 4 weeks, or until the rinds are tender to the bite. Then store it in the refrigerator.
  • To use, remove a piece of lemon and rinse it. (Add more fresh lemons to the brine as you use them up.) The minced rind is added at the very end of cooking or used raw; the pulp can be added to a simmering pot.

  • Using a paring knife, quarter the lemons lengthwise, starting at the top and slicing to within 1/2-inch of the bottom. Sprinkle salt all over the exposed flesh of each lemon, and then reshape the fruit. Place 1 tablespoon salt on the bottom of a sterilized 1-pint mason jar.
  • Pack the lemons in the jar and push them down, adding more salt and lemon juice, if needed. You’ll need to press down on the lemons to release their juices and make room for the remaining lemons. (If the juice released from the squashed fruit does not cover the lemons, add enough fresh lemon juice—not chemically produced lemon juice or water—to cover.) Leave some space at the top of the jar before sealing.
  • Set the jars aside in a dark place and let the lemons ripen for 30 days, shaking the jar often to distribute the salt and juice. They are now ready to use.
  • Use a clean spoon to fish out a lemon as needed. Don’t stick your fingers in the jar. Rinse the lemon under cool running water. Remove and discard the pulp, if desired, and thinly slice or chop as desired. You can also use the preserved lemon juice to flavor vinaigrettes, cocktailspan sauces, and more.
