QUICK PRESERVED LEMONS

 

I was given a bag of homegrown lemons from my Aunty and apart from squeezing them over everything i was cooking i was also wanting to add a different dimension to my dishes and as always never having enough time to plan ahead i found this fantastic idea by preserving the lemons overnight!

 

Makes 1 small jar/bowl full

Ingredients

4 lemons

1 Tbsp sea salt

2 tsp sugar

½ tsp coriander seeds, lightly toasted

A pinch of chilli flakes

Method

Slice two of the lemons as thinly as you can. Juice the other two lemons and mix the juice with the salt and sugar.

Arrange the lemon slices on the bottom of a non-reactive dish and pour the seasoned lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle over the seeds and flakes.

Leave to rest overnight.

They will last in the fridge for up to a month if you submerge them in lemon juice.
