Lemons in Salt
Pane-Bistecca
I like it when a light lemon flavor “colors” the food. That’s why I often rub the zest of lemons into all kinds of edibles especially into pastries.
I copied these preserved lemons from the Moroccans, because they taste wonderful. They fit into so many dishes, just cook them with the meat, which gives the dish a very subtle flavor. They are quick to make and a great gift from the kitchen!
