| preserved lemon in olive oil |
Learned this very
creative method of making preserved lemon from Ideas in Food. By using freeze
& defrost process, the peel soften instantly, bitter taste released, and
absorbed its own fragrant juice. The fact is lemon peel has lots more nutrients
than its juice, so its great to have a simple and delicious way to enjoy it. The level of salt used is low, the preserve is mildly salty with fresh lemon taste from the juice, can easily eat a lot without problem.
1. Cut organic lemon
into 3mm thin slices, in a bowl, mix with 1.2% its weight each of salt and
brown sugar, and chili flakes (optional).
2. Place in freezer to
freeze solid, then keep in fridge to defrost, stir and mix well.
3. Repeat the same
freeze and defrost process.
