7 Day Preserved Lemons

From Mostly Mediterranean by Paula Wolfert (Penguin USA)

Preserved lemons are a traditional condiment and flavoring used in Moroccan dishes. Although the ingredients and method are simple, they usually need to ripen about 30 days. This quick method only requires 7 days.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe lemons
• 1/3 cup coarse (kosher) salt
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• Olive oil

Preparation:

Scrub lemons and dry well. Cut each into 8 wedges. Toss with salt and place in a 1/2-pint glass jar with a glass or plastic-coated lid. Pour in lemon juice. Cover jar tightly and let lemons ripen at room temperature for 7 days, shaking jar each day to distribute salt and juice. To store, add olive oil to cover and refrigerate for up to 6 months.
