Sunshine in a Jar

I started a couple quart jars of Preserved Lemons today. Used primarily in Moroccan cooking, but they also find their way into any food that is enhanced with lemon… which in my opinion is pretty much everything!

Made from fresh lemons, lots of salt (I used Kosher salt), and lemon juice, they’ll be ready to eat in about a month. I’ll turn them over every few days. Can’t wait to try them!

Google Preserved Lemons for all you ever wanted to know about them.

Thank you Nan for suggesting Preserved Lemons!

Green Chile Chicken Tamale with Black Beans

I bought a few tamales at the Farmer’s Market last Sunday and tried one for dinner tonight. Doctored up some black beans and topped off with tomatoes, avocados, lemons, and sour cream.

Oh. So. Good!
