Preserved Lemons
  1. Get a jar just large enough to accommodate all the lemons tightly. Sterilize it by filling it with boiling water, leaving for a minute, and then emptying it. Allow it to dry out naturally.

  2. Wash the lemons and cut a deep cross all the way from the top to 2cm from the base, leaving 4 quarters attached.

  3. Stuff each lemon with a spoonful of salt and place in the jar. Push the lemons in tightly.

  4. Add the bay leaves and peppercorns, seal the jar, and leave for at least a week.

  5. After a week, remove the lid and press the lemons to squeeze out as much juice as possible.

  6. Add the lemon juice and cover with a thin layer of olive oil. Seal the jar and leave in a cool place for at least 4 weeks.
