How long before I can use? My 1st batch is only 1 wk old.

How DO I use? The recipe I'm making tomorrow is chkn, chickpeas, and
raisin tagine. Doesn't call for PLs.

If I try, how would I incorporate into recipe? Cooked with? Added at
end? ????

Are these the salt preserved or the sugar preserved lemons? I've only
used the salt ones. They need to go a minimum of 3 weeks, but 6 weeks
is better.

I take one out , discard the pulp, rinse off the salt, dry, chop or
slice, and add it to the recipe. I suggest that you try an actual
recipe the first time, rather than winging it.

This is excerpted from a comment on Simply Recipes made by a poster
who lived in Morocco for three years

"Secondly, it is more usual simply to slice or quarter the preserved
lemons (and they have to be preserved lemons) without discarding the
pulp and to cook the meal with these slices of lemon on top of the
rest of the ingredients. The salt and lemon flavour percolates through
the dish that way into the other ingredients and into the sauce. At
the end of cooking, the lemon slices are usually discarded, although
some people like to retain a slice on their side of the communal plate
to dip their bread in before using each piece to pick up a piece of
meat or vegetable. In this way, they get an extra burst of lemon with
the mouthful. Preserved lemon slices aren't a vegetable to be eaten
whole; they're a flavouring, an extra spice, if you like."
