How to Make Lemon Pickle Jamie Oliver's

  1. Wash and deseed 2 large lemons. Cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch), leaving the skin on.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and fry until they start to pop (about 1 minute).
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of dried curry leaves and 1/4 cup of yellow mung dal (or urad dal). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the dal is lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Add the lemon pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Once cool, transfer the pickle to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
