Preserved Lemons
I always preserve both sliced lemons and lemons cut into wedges, so that I have the type I need for different dishes. I add the preserved lemons to marinades for chicken that's to be simmered and so on. The syrup can be used for dressings and quick pickles! Both the lemons and syrup can be used as very refreshing, delicious seasoning ingredients in all sorts of ways - these salted lemon slices are useful.
You can preserve the lemons in salt only, but if you add just a little sugar, the salty taste will become milder. The lemons are kept at room temperature as they mature (about 2 weeks to a month), but when the weather is hot it's best to keep them in the refrigerator afterwards. During the winter you can keep them in a cool dark place. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Since the peel is preserved too, it's best to use organic, pesticide-free, unwaxed lemons. Wash the lemons well, and cut up in any way you like.
- 2
Stuff the lemons in a jar with a lid. Add the amount of salt and sugar appropriate for the number of lemons you are preserving. Close the lid and leave the jar out at room temperature.
- 3
A metal lid will become corroded by the salt, so put a piece of plastic wrap over the jar before closing the lid. Shake the jar by flipping it upside down, back and forth, 1 to 2 times a day for the first few days to distribute the salt. Once the salt has melted, you only need to shake the jar occasionally. The lemons will be ready to use in about 2 weeks, but the longer you can let them mature, the milder their sourness and saltiness will become.
- 4
When the lemons mature, they'll turn white and limp. That doesn't mean they have gone bad, so don't worry. I have used less salt than is usual, so that the lemons are easy to use as a seasoning ingredient. So try to use them up within 3 months.

My daughter loves lemon dressing! This time I made it with the juice from preserved lemons. The lemon zest is just slightly fragrant and delicious.Since the garlic slices are used to add aroma to the dressing, it's okay if you remove it after it has soaked for awhile. You could also use a pinch of grated garlic! Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei -

Chicken and Bell Peppers Simmer with Preserved Lemons ＆ Dried Parsley Chicken and Bell Peppers Simmer with Preserved Lemons ＆ Dried Parsley
I use salted lemons I keep on hand for flavoring. The taste of the dish varies depending on how long the lemons have been preserved, so adjust the seasoning before serving. The lemons become soft as they age and tend to fall apart if you stir them too hard. Remove the lemons before serving.I used chicken thighs this time, but this dish also has a nice, light taste when made with chicken breast. Coating the meat with flour and frying it results in a thick sauce that tends to burn easily. Be sure to keep an eye on it and adjust the heat as necessary! Be careful not to add too much salted lemon or the dish will be too salty. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei -
