How to make and use Preserved Lemons

Preserved lemons are created by curing lemons in salt, resulting in a softened and tamed peel with concentrated flavor. They may be used in stews, soups, salads, and dressings to add texture and a unique taste to dishes. To make them, lemons are packed in a jar with salt and left to ferment for at least three weeks. After that, they're stored in the refrigerator and used by scooping out the flesh and using the peel, which can be chopped or minced. Preserved lemons can be added to various dishes, including salads, sandwich spreads, and sauces to enhance flavors and elevate the meal.
