Preserved lemons, also known as preserved lemon rind or lemon pickle, are lemons that have been cured in a mixture of salt and their own juices. This process softens the lemon rind and mellows the tartness, resulting in a unique and tangy flavor. Preserved lemons are commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines to add a bright and zesty flavor to various dishes. They are often used as a condiment, ingredient, or garnish in dishes like tagines, salads, stews, and couscous.
