No other condiment adds quite the same salty-citrusy note as this Moroccan favorite. This homemade version has a clean flavor that sharpens a variety of savory dishes. A jar of these makes a great hostess gift. Ingredients:
8 lemons (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1/2 cup kosher salt, divided |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons) |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cut a small slice from 1 end of each lemon; stand lemons upright. Cut each lemon lengthwise into quarters, cutting to, but not through, the opposite end. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt into each lemon. Place the lemons in a medium bowl; sprinkle with remaining kosher salt, juice, 1/4 cup water, and olive oil. Let stand, partially covered, at room temperature 2 days, stirring occasionally and pressing the lemons to extract juice. Cover and refrigerate 3 weeks, stirring occasionally and pressing to extract juice from lemons.
2. Rinse lemons; remove seeds and white pith. Chop peel. Place chopped peel in a small bowl; cover and refrigerate up to 6 months.
