Moroccan Preserved Lemons

Belberry – Moroccan Salted Lemons

The Belberry Moroccan Salted Lemons are wonderful as a very special seasoning with North African roots. This Moroccan specialty is an important ingredient for many tagine recipes. Salted lemons go well with chicken and fish dishes, they enhance seafood such as scampi or crabs, and finely diced, they are simply delicious in a salad. You can use them similarly to fresh lemons; there are no limits to your imagination when using this extraordinary seasoning.

For these Moroccan Salted Lemons, an irreplaceable specialty with characteristic seasoning, fully ripe, untreated, unsprayed lemons are first scored in Belgium at Belberry and then brined for several weeks with a little rosemary in a sea salt solution before being used in the kitchen. During this time, the lemons' bitter compounds break down, and an intense, citrusy seasoning power develops that is less acidic than a fresh lemon. Although their use in chicken or fish dishes is most obvious, Moroccan salted lemons also go well with lamb dishes or beef goulash, with couscous or lentils, or as a dip with crème fraîche, sesame, and mint. Since salted lemons contain enough salt, you can salt your dishes sparingly. Sometimes salting even becomes unnecessary. You can also use the brine, which thickens during ripening, as a vinegar substitute and create a fine salad dressing from it together with olive or sesame oil.
