Lamai Murate

 Ingredients: 3 lemons - coarse salt

To prepare a citrus delight that will bring a touch of freshness to any dish, start by selecting the best lemons. It is advisable to choose fresh lemons with smooth, shiny skin that have an intense fragrance. Once you have selected the lemons, wash them under a stream of cold water to remove any impurities.

Once the lemons are clean, cut them into quarters with a sharp knife, being careful to keep the shape of the lemons intact. Then, take a sterilized jar, preferably glass, in which this recipe will be made. Generously sprinkle coarse salt over the lemon pulp, ensuring that each quarter is well covered. The salt will not only enhance the flavor of the lemons but will also help preserve them, resulting in an exceptional final product.

After the lemons are well salted, carefully place them in the jar, gently pressing them to allow the juice to escape and mix with the salt. This is an essential step, as the lemon juice will contribute to creating a delicious marinade. Once the lemons are tightly packed in the jar, squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon on top of them. This step will enrich the aroma and add an extra note of freshness.

With the jar full, seal it tightly and place it in the refrigerator. It is recommended to let the lemons marinate for a week, during which the jar should be shaken once a day. This will allow the salt to dissolve completely and integrate into the lemon juice, resulting in a delicacy with a unique and intense flavor. After seven days, the lemons will be perfectly preserved, ready to be used in various dishes, whether in salads, sauces, or even as a garnish for fish. This simple yet flavorful recipe will surely become a staple in your kitchen, adding a touch of originality to every meal.
