lemon. rosemary. salt. done.




preserved lemons are amazing. i was watching a cooking show on pbs about moroccan food. everything looked and sounded so good! the one thing that i had to have were the preserved lemons that are a major ingredient in chicken tajine.

tajine is a very common, very tradtional moroccan dish. while i don't have a tajine cooking pot to cook a savory veggie tajine in i can use this wonderful flavors in other dishes. these lemons tossed in salads is a fresh mix in bursting with flavor. these in any other savory dish you are cooking are a wonderful additional flavor.

Preserved Lemons
  • lemons
  • salt
  • rosemary
  1. cut your lemons in to quarters.
  2. coat them in salt.
  3. put in air tight container with rosemary.
  4. let sit for a few days.
you can also leave the rosemary out, or try different herbs like sage or thyme. these are nice just to have around at all times, and too easy not to!
