Fermented Lemons

Fermented lemons are easy to make, and add a rich, deep taste to many kinds of foods. We use them on broiled chicken and grilled food, like salmon and flank steak, but our favorite is hummus.

This project takes about 20 minutes of prep time, and 3-4 weeks of fermenting. After that, I’ve kept them in the frig for 4-6 weeks.
