The origin of preserved lemons goes back to centuries in Morocco, where they preserved them in clay or wood barrels and stored them underground for months. Preserved lemons are used in varieties of Moroccan Tagines especially the delicious chicken with lemons and olives....

Lemons, one of my favourite ingredients of all times. Cannot live without them🤩

If it were me I'd boil it in a vat of lemon juice . Lol

That spatchcock chicken looks sublime! 👍

You introduced me to preserved lemons. I have a lemon tree and my in-laws have one too. I don’t have to worry about wasting lemons. Thank you!

Hi! I bought your cookbook Jerusalem, I think 20 years ago? Love it a lot. The history of how food happens. Beautiful pictures. Great recipes. Today I just found you on KZread. Wow!

My wife made preserved lemons two years ago and I cooked this recipe tonight - delicious. Thank you.

Love love lemons 🍋! I'm a big fan of yours from Canada. I have all your books. They're great.

Quite a recipe. Looking forward to trying it soon.

I've done this recipe and it's delicious! Happy to also share that I had the pleasure of bumping into Mr. Ottolenghi himself in London earlier this year. He is the most charming and friendly person 😊 thank you for sharing your great recipes with us!

Perfection; love lemon with chicken!

I grow Lemons! I'm going to preserve some. That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing

Yummmmm! This looks so delicious!

Love this idea

I tried the lemon chicken yesterday - yes and yes! So good!! And the lemons...! I decided to first leave the chicken in a brine for a day, then pre-cook it in the oven, just as Mr Lenghi does, for 30 mins and then put it on the grill (for around 15-20 mins) with some wood chips for some extra smoke flavours. I had a chick pea salad, baguette and aubergine/paprika/tomato salad (grilled , too) as side dishes. Yummy!!!

What food processor are you using there? It's great how you can take out and scrape clean the knife so the residues don't go to waste...

It's a well-know brand that comes with a smaller bowl to process smaller quantities. We use it often!

You also used the bitter white layer underneeth the skin, does that get softer in preservation?

@Ottolenghi

You can definitely use the whole skin, it's all edible.

I’ve just made my first batch of preserved lemons and have to ask: is the peel supposed to be overwhelmingly salty? Does it fade over time? (I’ve waited about 2 weeks)

@Ottolenghi

Yes, preserved lemons are very salty. Be careful when adding salt in recipes

A really simple process made by the Arabic world specialty Moroccan, for the Moroccan chicken you have to know the original Moroccan chicken with preserved lemon.

Why not use the lemon flesh from preserved lemons? Is there something you can use it for (flavoring sauce or gravy?)

@Ottolenghi

It has too much water content to go in the butter but can definitely be used in dressings and sauces.

Dear Sir, is the butter salted or non-salted?

@Ottolenghi

6 ай бұрын

It's unsalted here. With the preserved lemon it will make it too salty. Enjoy!

Way too much salt for me & mine‼️ I would have washed off the preserved lemon & not added even more salt‼️ I love everything else about Mr. O’s presentation‼️🤩🤩

Wheres the recipe?

Why do you use sterilized jar… then use you bare hands to handle the ingredients?

Chicken breasts are cooked faster than legs. The only thing you did is you opened the chest so now the breasts will cook even faster...
