How to use preserved lemons
I bought a bottle of your preserved lemons, and I'm hoping you can direct me to a recipe or two that uses them. Thanks!

Thanks for your question! I love the Casablanca preserved lemons from our store, I'm so glad you ordered them. They have a much more well-rounded flavor than most, less bitter too.
Here are some ideas:
If you want to improvise with preserved lemon, remember that the pulp and peel should be used separately. The soft pulp can be mashed and stirred into soups, stews, dressings and sauces. The firmer, stronger-flavored rind should be diced and cooked for a bit in dishes to soften its texture and disperse its flavor—or minced very fine to not be overpowering.
Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
Hi - I listen to CK on the radio and I just wanted to thank him for the 2 book recos, both of which I have ordered (Apricots, Peach). I look forward to reading these and to more food-related book recommendations. Thanks, Nalini
