1. Preserved Lemon Recipe
I was born in Morocco and preserved lemons are a signature ingredient in Moroccan cooking. I first began using preserved lemons when I learned my Lemon Moroccan Chicken. At the time I had no idea how easy they were to make myself. This recipe is so incredibly delicious and I make it about once a week. It makes wonderful leftovers which I freeze for lunches throughout the week.

Another popular preserved lemon recipe is my Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken. This chicken is so incredibly easy to make. It’s juicy and full of flavor. Using preserved lemons means you get a tasty bite of salty lemon with each bite.
3. Roasted Rosemary Lemon Chicken
You can substitute preserved lemons in almost any recipe that calls for lemon. When I have preserved lemons in my refrigerator, I always chop them up and add a few to my Asparagus & Pea Pasta with Lemon Sauce. They can be added at the very end as a garnish or chopped up and thrown in the sauce.
