Como fazer Quick Preserved Lemon

Wash and thoroughly dry 2 large lemons. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the lemons, making sure to leave some of the peel intact (don’t cut all the way through).
In a small, heavy-bottomed skillet, combine the lemon slices with 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt and 1/2 cup water.
Stir gently to ensure salt is evenly distributed among the lemon slices.
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the lemon slices are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Pack the lemon slices tightly into a clean, airtight container. Pour any remaining liquid from the skillet over the lemons.
Store in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. The flavor will deepen over time (up to one week).
