Tips

Lemon zest

To Zest with a Citrus Zester: Place the fine, sharp-edged holes on one end of the citrus, following the curvature of the fruit. Push slightly into the fruit and pull down to the other end. Repeat this process until the entire lemon peel is removed and only the pith remains.

So I have learnt that coconut meatballs is actually a thing. Skip the tomatoes and add 2 TBSP of lemon juice with the lemon zest when making the stew.
