Pickling lemons is an extremely simple task. We cut the fruit, stuff it with salt, stuff it tightly in a jar and pour lemon juice over it. We wait 3 weeks and we have a unique addition to the dishes.

What can you use pickled lemons for?

Pickled lemons give dishes a fresh citrus flavor and aroma. Most often I add them to tagine (tagine, tajine, tajine), they exceptionally improve the taste of meat and vegetarian stews. They are an excellent addition to salads, dressings and even desserts. I usually add them in moderation, literally a piece, because pickled lemons are very aromatic and distinctive in taste.
