preserved lemon paste

Add some depth and complexity to any dish by making a quick lemon paste.  It's as close as you can get to pureed, preserved lemons without waiting for them to cure at home or making a special purchase.

Quick Lemon Puree Recipe (try with limes!)

lemons (large - see Note for trying with limes)

lemon juice

water

sea salt

Optional herbs:

wash

Wash the lemons.  Make sure to remove any waxy residue.

trim

slice

Slice into ¼ inch slices and remove the seeds.

combine

Combine the sliced lemons, lemon juice, water, salt and herbs (if using) in a small saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat and cover.  TIP:  Check often to make sure the liquid hasn&#39;t evaporated.  Add more water or lemon juice if needed.

simmer

Simmer until the rinds are tender and translucent, 10-15 minutes.

cool

remove

blend

Transfer to a blender (I like to use my Nutribullet for this) and puree until thick and smooth (think baby food consistency).  If too thick, add water or more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time.

store

Store in a small airtight jar and refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze (see Note).
