The 'lemonness' you expect is softened and sour and salty elements combine with a hint of sweetness for an entirely new flavor experience. Mustapha's preserved lemons are cured and packed in a mild brine solution, which transforms the once bitter lemon rind into a completely different ingredient, one that you will find both enticing and indispensable, and not just for Moroccan cuisine. As Paula Wolfert - the world famous author of many cookbooks on Mediterranean cuisines - notes, "their unique pickled taste and special silken texture cannot be duplicated with fresh lemon or lime juice, despite what some food writers have said." Preserved lemons are usually rinsed to remove excess saltiness, and the rind can be blanched to remove even more of the saltiness. You can use the entire lemon if you wish, but the flesh is most often used in stews. Try slicing preserved lemons thinly and tucking them into a fragrant stew or lentil dish, bake with fish or lamb or toss in a fresh vegetable salad. A twist of preserved lemon rind will make for one incredible martini. Preserved lemons are a common, though often unrecognized, flavor in Moroccan cooking. They are also an important ingredient throughout the rest of North Africa. The distinctive texture and flavor of preserved lemons is essential to not only traditional Moroccan cooking, but also to the contemporary cooking of the some of the best chefs in the South of France, Spain, England, and right here in the USA.

 Rating:  - gets top ratingsThis product gets top ratings. I haven't tried mine yet but assume reviewers know what they are talking about. Best to try bottled and then learn to make one's own. Rating: - Excellent Service, Great ProductI was completely satisfied with this purchase. The preserved lemons were perfect (dinner guests loved the special flavor they added to a chicken/almonds/olive dish) and the company shipped the order very quickly. A quality item, well-packed and promptly shipped, at a fair price. Rating:  - Finally!Finally a lemon that can be preserved for future generations to see and behold it's yellow glory. Thank you modern science! Rating: - Wonderful exotic flavorPreserved lemons are one of those items that can become a secret ingredient in your dishes that everyone asks about. I love to chop them finely and add to stews as they add a very distinct, deep flavor that most don't even recognize as lemon. The overall flavor is more similar to lemon zest than lemon juice. Used with green olives and chicken in a Tagine is one of the best traditional applications. I've also added it in the italian dish Osso Bucco with great success. Get some and try it! |
