Does anyone remember the episode of The Simpsons where Home becomes a food critic? Soon everyone in town has gained massive amounts of weight because he makes all of the food sound so good.
That's kind of how I feel about Choosy Beggars. Every time I read about something I've never heard of before, I want to try it.
This week, Tina was talking about preserved lemons. I've never had them before - I didn't even know they existed - but they sounded good.
And this week, I happened to find a supply of thin-skinned lemons at the grocery store. It was fate.
I followed the directions on the website, washing the lemons, cutting off the nub on the end, cutting them almost in quarters, packing them with salt, and putting them in a jar.
I was surprised at how many lemons fit into the jar - I thought I'd have a lot left, but I didn't.
I put the salt on the top, filled it with lemon juice, and put the lid on.
Someone remind me in a couple of weeks to use them in something, OK?

ReplyDeleteOkay, so I was going to wait for a couple of weeks before pestering you to ask how they turned out, but sometimes I just can't help myself. You'll let us know when they're ripe and ready, right? And you'll make some delicious tagine, vinaigrette, or roast chicken? Please?
ReplyDeleteI definitely plan to make something interesting with them. I don't know what, exactly, but I'll definitely share it here.
