Preserved Lemons

You wouldn't think that lemons packed in salt for a few weeks would be anything to write home about. But preserved lemons are a North African treat and they are delicious! Preserved lemons give a real burst of freshness to salads, dressings and stews, and they go fantastically well with chicken and fish. Preserving lemons is incredibly easy.

Thank you so much Keef always wanted to know how to preserve lemons 👍👍👍👌

[patrickcarroll]

Excellent recipe Keef, thank you, I will try this!!

[LazyCookPete]

I love the intensity of the flavour in preserved lemons, and like you say Keef, they are so good with chicken tagine.

[redhousepress]

These are a pantry staple in my kitchen. The last batch I made, I used Meyer lemons and they are stellar. Very nice video Keef!

[ripley]

Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Never heard of it and I can’t wait to try.

[RandomMilkSauce]

Sweet baby jesus, another Keef video! Keep them coming!

[abp]

i slice mine, thick, about half an inch or so, 6-8 mm, and discard the ends, easy to pop the seeds out, then layer them, salting heavily (kosher or sea salt) between the layers and press them down well, and top off with lemon juice.

Very nice and easy. I bought a jar of Moroccan preserved lemons once, they weren't quartered like yours but rather sliced in nice rounds and stacked. I think they may fit better in the jar as slices.
Would you consider making preserved walnuts in a video? I love those, and they're so hard to find here in the US. I've been thinking of making my own, but green walnuts are another hard to find ingredient, especially the Persian/English variety. To the point where I'm considering planting my own walnut trees (and yes I know it will take many years for them to produce nuts)

Loooove it! I'll be making a Moroccan dish, Djaj Mchermel, tonight and preserved lemons make it so much better.
Ramadan Mubarak. :)

[varnamaddocks]

By any chance do you have a recipe for picalli or a chutney. Ty for sharing xxxx

[dwaynewladyka]

I love lemons very much. This looks great.

[brendastrandrigdon]

Going to try doing these as I saw some being packed in another video a few weeks ago and think these might be good to have on hand for using in recipes (the lad likes lemon cakes) and I like using lemon on fish too and roast beef I know that sounds weird but it works so well
👍👌😍

[filliposchat]

today I made the recipe. I thought that 5 lemons wouldn't make it into the jar, but I was wrong. The juice from the lemons and the salt was nice. I'll wait now 2 weeks. I'm wondering how good it will become

[MultiChef]

Hi Keefy nice video, a lot cheaper to do your own lemons than buy those small jars of them, thanks Ivan

[agamemnonahb]

Okay, this is a new one for me. What exactly is it supposed to taste like when it's done? You described the texture so I'm curious about the taste. I want to try this.

[McGeeMrs]

How long do these last after you open them and start eating them?

[Skeirn]

Your videos are simply amazingly charming! :) (i hope i spelled that right)
