Preserved lemons fight back harder than any other fruit I've ever worked with. But, I suppose if someone wanted to stuff me in a jar with ten other people, I would also resist.

#preserved lemons #it is extraordinarily hard to submerge lemons in salt and their own juice #i think i've done it #but if any mold gets in there #i am going to come completely unglued unfortunately

Yotam Ottolenghi’s Preserved Lemons

The technique calls for boiling thin slices of lemon with fresh lemon juice and salt, then blitzing them in a food processor or blender until you have a thick, spreadable paste. The end result keeps for weeks in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

1 large lemon, end trimmed, sliced into 1/4-inch-thin rounds, seeds removed

4 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp salt

1.

Rinse lemons. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Simmer until salt is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the lemon rinds start to look translucent, about 12 minutes.

2.

Set aside to cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor (or blender) and blitz until smooth and thick. Add a tablespoon of water if you need to thin out the mixture; the result should be spreadable paste.

3.

Transfer the preserved lemon paste (at room temperature) and pack well in an airtight jar with a secure lid. If not using immediately, pack to the bottom of the jar and pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top. Cover and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

[ID: A large bowl filled with several chicken breasts covered in an herb marinade, dark green olives, and pale yellow lemon wedges. End ID.]

Vegan tajine djaj b zitoun / طاجين الدجاج بالزيتون (Moroccan chicken stew with olives and preserved lemon)

This tajine features chicken flavored with chermoula--a Moroccan marinade primarily consisting of cilantro and parsley (in ratios anywhere from 1:1 to 4:1) but also inclusive of garlic, spices, chili pepper, garlic, and lemon, depending on region and personal preference. The chicken is then slow-cooked in olive oil and water to produce a thick, saucy stew; bitter olives and Moroccan preserved lemons add tanginess, salt, and color.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

INGREDIENTS:

For the marinade:

~ 300g unseasoned, unbreaded vegan chicken breast (I used Gardein)

2-inch chunk cassia cinnamon, or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp black peppercorns, or ground black pepper

1/2 tsp sweet paprika

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp cumin seeds, or ground cumin

1 small bouquet parsley

1 small bouquet cilantro

pulp of 1 preserved lemon*

1 clove garlic

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup water

pinch of saffron

*Moroccan preserved lemons are simply a Moroccan variety of lemon preserved in saltwater. They may be found in halaal grocery stores; Mina is a brand that I've seen in western grocery stores in the U.S.. I've also used Thai preserved lemons from an Asian grocery store in a pinch.

For the dish:

1 Tbsp vegetarian chicken stock concentrate (or substitute soy sauce)

1/2 cup water (vegetable stock, if not using chicken stock)

Large handful of bitter green olives

1 preserved lemon, quartered

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If frozen, allow chicken to thaw in the refrigerator for several hours, or in a large bowl full of warm water, while you prepare the marinade.

2. Grind saffron to a fine powder in a mortar and pestle, or crumble it between your fingers. Soak it in 1/2 cup of just-boiled water for at least 10 minutes.

3. If using whole spices: heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast cinnamon and black peppercorns for a few minutes until fragrant and a shade darker. Set aside. Toast cumin seeds for about a minute until fragrant and set aside. Remove the skillet from heat and toast ground spices, agitating constantly, for about 30 seconds.

4. Grind parsley and cilantro leaves to a paste in a mortar and pestle, or mince them and then crush them with the flat of a knife. Mash garlic and lemon pulp in a mortar and pestle, or grate the garlic and chop the lemon pulp.

5. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and rub marinade onto both sides of each chicken breast.

6. In a large pot, heat oil on medium high. Add onions and cook for 5-8 minutes until translucent; remove from the pan or push to the side.

7. Lower heat to medium and brown chicken on both sides (about 5 minutes each side). Mix in with onions.

8. Lower heat to low and add olives, lemon, and vegetable or chicken stock. Cook, partially covered, for about half an hour to allow flavors to incorporate and stock to thicken.

(Traditionally, tajine b djaj is cooked by heating oil in a tajine, then adding onions, chicken, and water and covering to allow the chicken to steam for several hours. The lemons and olives are then added later in the cooking time. I haven't found much of a point to doing this with vegetarian chicken substitutes; the texture does not improve with simmering, and the 'chicken' doesn't let out much flavor into the cooking water (which is why I've called for stock, rather than water, in this recipe)).

Serve warm with khobz. The flesh of the preserved lemons is eaten; the rinds are left.

they hate each other except for when they dont. but actually they do

[image id: a series of sketches of Day, a pokemon trainer oc, and Melli from legends arceus. Day is a white person with their hair shaved on one side, and is wearing glasses, a t shirt, a long jacket with stripes on the sleeves, and flame-patterned puffy pants tucked into boots.

In the first sketch, Melli stands side by side with Day. Day looks up at him, extremely unimpressed, as Melli says "oh your coat is just in horrible condition, your terrible galaxy team forcing you to work in the wilds in whats clearly such flimsy fabric just proves how bad you people are". Then, he says, "now I simply insist you allow me, the Great Melli, to repair and reinforce it with my superior sewing skills". He looks down at Day, very smug, as they startle, clearly not having expected an offer of help.

In the next series of sketches, Melli is sewing their jacket with Day watching. Empty speech bubbles hover above Melli as he explains it to them. Then, he hands the jacket over to an apprehensive Day, saying "now you try." Day begins sewing, now more confident and smiling a bit as Melli continues to instruct them. Melli grins, saying "see? how could you fail, being taught by the Great Melli ;)". Day looks at Melli, sick and tired of his shit.

The final two sketches show Day in their newly repaired jacket. They stand looking down at it, smiling in surprised delight. In the first, they face the front, and in the second, they've spun around to look at the back of it. The cuffs of the sleeves, bottom of the jacket, and a couple gashes on the back are the most significantly repaired portions. The shoulders are now embroidered with Hisuian Decidueye inspired patterns, and the gash on the back has been repaired to mimic rays of light. End id]

#art #my art #digital art #pokemon art #pokemon trainer oc #my oc #oc: sol #daybreak au #warden melli #lemon yemon #i LOVEEE how the bottom one of them on the right turned out #something about it is just so delightful #theres also something about them choosing to repair their jacket and make it their own as they are now (with the embroidery reflecting thei #new teams) while ingo preserves his as much as he can keeping it as it was even as it falls apart around him #the preservation of the past to the point of stunting the present versus the embrace of change and march into the future #also this drawing made me realize i accidentally gave melli and day a sibling relationship #wasnt what i intended but boy if it isnt fun!!

i baked an incredible triple layer mousse cake for my birthday yesterday and it's been so long since i made a proper, multi-hour finicky dessert and it genuinely made me so happy

honestly it's possible that i should have been a baker

#i like having to be so very very precise and careful and figuring out timing idk it's just so fun #like a puzzle and at the end you get something tasty #at some point i'll have to go back and try making a mirror glaze again. i needed higher quality food coloring and it was too sweet #like those white chocolate glazes are always gonna be a sugar bomb but i didn't pair the underlying cake flavors well #maybe something with like. punch to the mouth tart lemon or grapefruit...... mmmm #oh and i do need to make claire saffitz's preserved lemon cake at some point too. so much to do so little time #personal shit

"average male eats 3 dubious food items a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 dubious food items per year. Mike Trapp, who participates in Game Changer & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#game changer #mike trapp #this is about the lemon parmesan and straight lemon preserves and hot dog smoothie and probably more stuff im forgetting

Hi all! I made Scones with Preserved Lemon for tonight's rewatch. Well- I made the scones and I will be enjoying them with McKay's lemon curd. Yum!

The recipe is in Outlander Kitchen 2. They came out really well. I'd like to explore the recipe as a base and add different flavors.

Join me for Season 6 Episode 5, Give Me Liberty, tonight at 8 pm est!

Hello friends who want to eat more fruit but suffer from the curse of “buys fruit and forgets to eat it till it rots”: if you don’t mind the texture, baby food is an amazing solution. I eat apple mango baby food pouches shamelessly every day because they 1) taste like yummy apple sauce, 2) don’t expire for a really long time, and 3) I am a big baby

It might sound silly, but it’s not stupid if it works

#there also aren’t usually added sugars because it’s meant to be like. healthy for babies and shit #the most common additive is lemon juice for preservation #it’s my one and only adhd life hack

Anyone else allergic to like a really common thing and every time you accidentally eat/touch it you have a different reaction?

This past summer, my throat was bleeding so badly my ships doctor dude wanted to send me to the ER. Another time I just swelled. Another other time I got hives all over my entire body that didn't leave for like five days. And now? Yesterday/today I'm just over the toilet vomiting my brains out. Why can't my body ever just be consistent?

#allergies #im allergic to lemons #and limes #and oranges #y'know #citrus in general #you wanna know what is in basically everything? #citrus. #you want to know what a really uncommon allergy is? #citrus #you want to know what allergy typically doesnt give ANY of these reactions? #you guess it: fucking citrus #its like my own personal hell #causs citrus is used as a preservative #i cant eat anything out of a can #or a box #(basically) #phantrants #writing to you from beside my toilet #with love #and a very achy stomach
