What it is
Whole lemons cured in salt brine until the rind turns silky and the citrus flavour goes deep and savoury rather than sharp.
How we handle it
Sold in the jar from the pantry shelf. Keep them submerged in their brine in the fridge once opened.
How to cook it
Rinse a lemon, scrape out the pulp, and sliver the peel into fish tagines, roasted whole fish or a grain salad. Roasting a whole fish.
Good to know
It is the peel you want, not the flesh — the pulp is mostly salt and is usually discarded.
