Quick Preserved Lemons

No reviews yet

Bonafide Indian and North African dishes more often than not contain preserved lemon, a semi-exotic ingredient than can be easily procured at your local megamart. But, we're going to make our own. Why? Because homemade is better. Expect peak flavor and texture after about a month. As long as they’re kept refrigerated preserved lemons should keep indefinitely. This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: The Return.
