Chicken with Preserved Lemon
Whole lemons preserved in a salty brine are a flavor powerhouse. Look for preserved lemons at specialty stores, or order online from rakuten.com. They work wonders in dishes that can use a tangy, salty punch: Try chopping a little into a grain salad, or mix into a simple pasta dish with parsley, garlic, and grated cheese. If you can't get preserved lemons, season 1/3 cup chopped whole seeded lemon (Meyer lemon would be best) with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook lemon mixture in 2 teaspoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until lemon rinds are very tender.
