These organic Tunisian lemons from Les Moulins Mahjoub are preserved whole with the addition of a mild red pepper to create an additional layer of flavor. The preserved lemon adds a citrus flavor and aroma, with a less acidic flavor than your average lemon. Both the rind and the pith can be utilized.
Cut off a slice or two (return unused to the lemon brine, once opened they will last months in the refrigerator), dice and mix into your favorite sauces and salads. Perfect to accompany grilled or baked fish, stews, meats and rice. Add a slice to beverage or even a few slices into a whole fish before baking. One lemon can go a long way, flavoring up to a dozen dishes.
