Preserved Lemon Sauce
Remember the preserved lemon recipe I posted here on the Daughter Jean blog and YouTube about a month ago? Well, as promised, I am dishing out the recipes in order for you to use those wise lemons. If you do not have any preserved lemons there is no need to fret. You can purchase them on Amazon or at a specialty food store. Amazon has everything right?
This sauce can be used as a condiment on chicken, lamb, fish, and even vegetables. It is also extremely delicious used as a dressing on a salad. It is creamy, light, and has the natural brightness normally associated with lemons. The added element is the unique taste of the preserved lemons that is still bright but also slightly umami or savory. This is one of my favorite sauces now and obviously a staple in my kitchen. Another good thing about this sauce is how easy it is to make and it does not require a lot of ingredients. Try it out. Thank me later!
