How to Make Preserved Lemons in 41 seconds | The Basics

If you don't know how to make it, forgot, or don't even know what it is this video is for you! Preserved lemons are a North African condiment and are used in many Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. They are preserved in their own liquid and after 3 weeks you rinse off any salt, cut off the inside flesh (very salty), and use the soft rind to cook. I'll be posting some recipes using preserved lemons when there are ready! Have you tried preserved lemons?

Ingredients:
- Lemons (organic and ideally Meyer)
- salt

Lemons are such a happy fruit they always make me smile one of my favorites to cook with 😊

[csrlovessar]

Oh that one sad little store-bought lemon w/o the depth of color and flavor. The others though 🤩

I guessing any kind of salt? Baja salt and celtic have so many minerals.. lots of benefits

But can you still use them within the 3 week fermentation period?

[dylanharris]

It's a lacto-fermentation. You can do this with just about any produce. Salt water brine between 2-5% for 2 weeks.

How do I preserve squeezed lemon with their rinds... As I want to keep it for vitamins and minerals.

Do you rinse off the salt before eating? If not, how do you use this preserved lemon?

[way]

do you use it for savory dishes only and can't be used for dessert?

[daisylila_s]

what do i do with them when they're done? i made a big batch but don't know how to cook with it

[mintyfresh]

Does it matter if it's in a dark, cool place like cabinet? Or left out and exposed to sunlight? Thank you!

Can you make a video on food with high protein

Type of salt ..heard is pickle type ? Or Himalaya is suffice... Not table salt nor iodine as well is good right... For the younger minds crowd ..

Oh God, don't just "aDd SaLt" make sure you're at least making a 2% lemon juice brine with this so you don't give yourself botulism!. Please learn to make the brine to reduce risk of infection.
