I love moroccan cooking and one of the primary flavours for me is the use of salt-pickled lemons. Whilst they are source-able (at a ridiculously high price) in the UK ( Waitrose, Tescos, Sainsburys) , here in Holland they just don't seem to exist - even in Feijenoord, which is the moroccan ghetto of Rotterdam.So........pickling time :
- Organic unwaxed lemons
- Salt
- Water
- A pickling jar
Chop up lemons into big pieces, insert in jar, top with LOTS of salt ( sufficient that it forms a layer on the base of the jar, even after the water is added and shaken up), fill with water and place in a conspicuous place to remind you to shake it up each day.....
A few weeks down the line, I look forwards to lots of lovely nom nom nom!
