    What's the story

    Moroccan preserved lemons are a staple of North African cuisine.

    Their unique tangy and salty flavor is unmatched, and they add a whole new depth to the dishes you prepare.

    Whether you're just getting started with preserved lemons or looking for new ideas, these recipes will show you how to include this ingredient in your meals.

    From salads to stews, find out how preserved lemons can elevate your culinary creations.

    Fresh flavors

    Moroccan lemon and olive salad

    This salad marries the zesty taste of preserved lemons with the briny flavor of olives.

    Simply slice a few preserved lemon rinds and mix them with green olives, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add a pinch of cumin for an earthy touch.

    This salad makes for a perfect side dish or light appetizer, delivering a refreshing burst of flavors that go well together.

    Hearty comfort

    Chickpea stew with preserved lemons

    Chickpea stew gets a whole new level with Moroccan preserved lemons.

    Start by sauteing onions and garlic till golden brown. Add chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth for a rich base.

    Stir chopped preserved lemon rinds and spices like turmeric and coriander for warmth.

    Simmer till thickened, letting flavors meld together into a comforting dish.

    Flavorful grains

    Couscous with vegetables and lemons

    Couscous goes beautifully with veggies when you add the tang of preserved lemons to it.

    Cook couscous as per packet instructions while roasting seasonal veggies like zucchini or bell peppers in olive oil until tender-crisp.

    Toss everything with finely chopped pieces from one whole lemon rind before serving warm or at room temperature.

    Savory twist

    Roasted cauliflower with lemon zest

    Roasting cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness, which pairs beautifully with the tartness from Moroccan-preserved lemon zest sprinkled on top just before serving hot out of the oven.

    Toss florets lightly coated in olive oil onto a baking sheet; roast at 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) until golden-brown edges form—about 25 minutes total time needed here, depending upon size and thickness desired outcome achieved accordingly thereafter too.

    Warming bowl

    Lentil soup infused with citrus notes

    Start by sauteing chopped onions, carrots, and celery in medium heat until slightly softened.

    Add rinsed lentils, water, and the stock of your choice. Boil, then simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

    Finally, stir in minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and thinly sliced preserved lemon rind during the last five minutes.

    Enjoy a bowl full of aromatic delight.
