How to Make Lamoun Makbouss Pickled Lemons

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry approximately 1 pound of lemons.
  2. Slice the lemons into thin rounds or halves (depending on size and preference).
  3. In a clean, sterilized jar, layer the lemon slices. Between each layer, sprinkle generously with sea salt (approximately 2 tablespoons), and add your choice of spices (1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon peppercorns, etc.).
  4. Once the jar is filled with lemon layers, pour in enough olive oil (or vegetable oil) to completely submerge all the lemons. Leave about half an inch of space at the top of the jar.
  5. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
  6. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. The longer they pickle, the more intense the flavor will become. Check occasionally to ensure the lemons remain submerged in oil.
