THE METHOD:
Layering with Lemons and Garlic: Nestle the salted lemon quarters into the jar, pressing them gently to release more juice. As you layer the lemons, intersperse them with peeled garlic cloves. The garlic imparts its distinct flavor and aroma to the preserved lemons.
Additional Flavorings (Optional): For added depth of flavor, consider including bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, or even a cinnamon stick. These optional additions infuse the jar with nuanced aromatic notes.
Completing the Preserving Process: Once the jar is filled, press the lemons down firmly to release any trapped air bubbles. Top off with extra lemon juice to ensure all the lemons are submerged. This creates an environment that hinders bacterial growth.
Sealing the Jar: Seal the jar tightly, ensuring no air can enter. Store it in a cool, dark place for at least a month, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
Using Preserved Lemons and Garlic: When it’s time to use your preserved lemons and garlic, rinse them thoroughly to remove excess salt. The softened lemon rind becomes a versatile ingredient, adding a unique citrusy brightness to a variety of dishes.
