Cómo preparar Moroccan Preserved Lemons
- Wash lemons thoroughly and scrub with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or wax.
- Slice lemons in half lengthwise and then into thin (about 1/8 inch) half-moon slices. Try to avoid cutting all the way through the very bottom so the slices stay mostly connected.
- Pack the lemon slices tightly into a clean, sterilized jar. Leave about 1 inch of space at the top.
- Generously sprinkle each layer of lemon slices with kosher salt, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
- Press down firmly on the lemons to help release their juices and ensure they are fully submerged in salt.
- Seal the jar tightly. Let it sit at room temperature for 1-3 days, occasionally giving the jar a gentle shake, until the lemons have released plenty of juice and the salt has largely dissolved.
- Store in a cool, dark place. Keep refrigerated for longer preservation. Once stored, your preserved lemons will need to cure for at least 3-4 weeks, and are often better after several months!
- Once cured, rinse the lemon slices under cold water to remove excess salt before using. Then chop and add to your favorite dishes. You can also use the preserving brine in your dishes for added flavor.
