Preserved Lemons, 33 oz (Pack of 1)

Sanniti Preserved Lemons are traditionally used in Moroccan cuisine, but they can realistically be incorporated into a wide variety of recipes. These preserved lemons in salt and water offer a versatile and long-lasting ingredient that can be utilized in baking, cooking, and creating dressings and sauces.

The ingredients in Sanniti Preserved Lemons include lemons (Beldi), water, salt, citric acid, and ascorbic acid, with the addition of sulphites. These preserved lemons are available in various sizes, including 33 oz, 13.4 oz, 12.7 oz, and multipacks.

To use the preserved lemons, simply remove them from the jar, rinse off the excess salt, and separate the flesh from the rind. Both the lemon flesh and the rind can be used, but the rind is the part that is most commonly minced and incorporated into recipes.

One example of a dish that can be made with Sanniti Preserved Lemons is Lemon Hummus. By adding the preserved lemon peel and pulp to the hummus, a tangy and zesty flavor profile is achieved.

Another popular use for Sanniti Preserved Lemons is in the classic Moroccan dish, Lemon Chicken Tagine. The lemon rind adds a wonderful brightness and depth of flavor to the meat.

Preserved lemons can also be used to enhance cocktails, such as a Lemon Martini. The brine from the preserved lemons can be used to flavor gin or vodka, and the preserved lemon rinds can be used as a cocktail garnish.

In baking, preserved lemon rinds are often minced and incorporated into recipes like Lemon Bundt Cake, where they lend a zesty and aromatic quality to the final product.

One of the benefits of Sanniti Preserved Lemons is their extended shelf life. Unlike fresh lemons, which can quickly brown and spoil, these preserved lemons can be stored in the pantry for future use. This allows you to have a reliable source of lemon flavor on hand whenever you need it.

It's important to note that before using the preserved lemons, it's recommended to rinse off some of the excess salt to suit your taste preferences. This helps to balance the flavors and ensure that the preserved lemon's taste is well-integrated into your dish.

In summary, Sanniti Preserved Lemons are a versatile and long-lasting ingredient that can be used in a variety of Moroccan and non-Moroccan dishes, from savory stews and dressings to sweet baked goods and cocktails. Their unique flavor profile and ease of use make them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
