Lemons preserved in salt are delicious and lend a distinctive flavor to numerous Moroccan dishes such as chicken or lamb tagines.

1. Quarter the lemons, but cut along only 80% of their length so they remain attached at the base;
2. sprinkle evenly with salt and close up;
3. pack into a glass jar; cover tightly and marinate for 2 weeks at room temperature;
4. remove from the jar and drain; cut into quarters and use as indicated in your recipe.
