Moroccan Preserved Lemons - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 organic lemons
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 cup lukewarm water, or as needed

Preparation

Scrub lemons thoroughly under cold running water. Cut each lemon into quarters, but do not cut all the way through the top, so that the lemon still holds together.
Rub lemons generously with salt inside and out and along all the cuts. Place them in a large sterilized jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add lukewarm water to cover; the lemons should be fully immersed. Screw on the lid and let cure for 1 month in a dark, dry, and cool place.
