Preserved Lemons are a crucial ingredient in many North African dishes. They are either whole or quartered lemons that have been preserved in tall jars along with salt, herbs and spices. The jars are then topped-up with lemon juice, stoppered and left to cure for several weeks. If you are using preserved lemons ensure that you wash them thoroughly to remove any excess salt. They can be used whole in stews or tagines, or chopped finely and added to couscous dishes or salads.
