Greetings Steemit foodies. In my previous post, I shared with you how to ferment/preserve lemons. You can find the post HERE. Today I want to share with you one of our favorite uses of these fermented lemons.

There are many ways preserved lemons can add some zing to your food. My favorite dishes include pasta with veggies and vegan lemon cashew cheese sauce or a Moroccan-style stew like the one I am sharing today.

This stew is super easy and fast to prepare, making it a perfect weeknight dinner. We eat a similar dish nearly every week. I guess more easy weeknight dinners like this Morrocan stew will be on the menu in the coming weeks or months.

  • 4 dates, pitted and chopped
  • ½ cups green olives, pitted and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp preserved/fermented lemon rind, chopped

Herb mix:


  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • Himalayan pink salt and black pepper to taste

FYI: though you can use all parts of the preserved lemons, the rind has the best flavor. So for this recipe, I only used the lemon rind. Find the preserved/fermented lemon recipe HERE.

Directions


Saute onions until translucent. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and the herb mix and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir regularly to make sure the onion-garlic-herb mix doesn't burn.

Then add carrots and baby potatoes stir well and add the veggies stock until the veggies are just covered with the stock. Stir again and cook with the lid on for about 10 minutes or until the veggies start to soften.

Then add chickpeas, preserved lemons, dates, and olives. Cook without a lid for another 5-10 minutes or until the liquid has reduced.
