A sharp and sour winter pickle familiar from Mediterranean coastal cuisines, made by slicing whole lemons and fermenting them with plenty of salt. Used in small amounts alongside fish and chicken dishes, it adds vibrancy to the table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the lemons

10 min

Wash the lemons thoroughly and slice them, removing the seeds.

2

Toss with salt

5 min

Toss the lemon slices thoroughly with rock salt.

3

Layer into the jar

5 min

Pack the salted lemons tightly into a jar, then add fresh lemon juice and thyme on top.

4

Leave to ferment

Close the jar and let it rest first at room temperature for three to four weeks, then in the refrigerator. The pickle is ready once the peels soften and turn semi-translucent.

Reminder

Important: Before slicing the lemons, scrub the peels thoroughly, as the peel will also be used in the pickle. Jars must always be sterilized. Don't reduce the amount of salt, otherwise the lemons may go moldy during fermentation.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a bit of fresh lemon juice while layering the lemons in the jar speeds up fermentation and sharpens the flavor further.
