Best Preserved lemon for home cooking
What Preserved lemon is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Salted Moroccan lemon — rind and all, the sour that is also a pickle.
In Moroccan cooking, Preserved lemon is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Preserved lemon before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
