What is preserved lemon?

Preserved lemon

Lemons cured in salt and their own juice for weeks until the peel goes soft, salty and intense. You mostly eat the rind.

What it tastes like

Salty, sour and deeply lemony, with a funky, almost floral savoriness and none of the bitterness of raw peel.

Where you’ll see it

Moroccan tagines, Mediterranean salads, grain bowls, roast chicken, fish and dressings.
