Preserved lemons

Home made preserved lemons are so much better than store bought, here is a very simple recipe by the barefoot contessa. To use the lemons in an amazing dish, we made the Moroccan chicken tajine. We added some spices like cinnamon and a lot of vegetables that we cooked with the chicken.

2-3 lemons, 2 tablespoons kosher salt.
1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
2. Cut the lemons into 6th lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and place in a glass dish (make sure it's a non corrosive dish). Cover the lemons with water and cook in the oven for 3 hours.
3. Allow to cool, and then refrigerate.

Enjoy.
