Baby Preserved Beldi Lemons

A little lemon with a great deal to say.

Being small, these Beldi lemons have a fine, thin skin, exactly what you want from a preserved lemon. It softens readily in the brine and is easy to slice or chop finely into a dish.

Preserved in salt and brine, their flavour becomes deep, fragrant and savoury. They bring the brightness of lemon without the raw sharpness of fresh juice.

Rinse before using. Scoop away the pulp if you want a gentler result, then chop the peel finely. Stir it into tagines, couscous, marinades and salad dressings, or scatter it over roast vegetables, chicken and fish. A little goes a long way.

They are particularly good in our Mediterranean Chicken and Olive Tray Bake, where the preserved lemon brings a bright, salty lift to the roasting juices.
