I love pickles of all kinds, but my favorite is pickled lemon. Actually, when I used to live with my parents you could find a jar with pickles in the refrigerator most of the year.
When I grew up and moved out I've realized how little it takes to make pickles and what a great taste it adds to every dish, sandwich or salad.
In that time of the year you can find perfect tiny lemons for this. (you can also use regular size lemons).
You'll need:
- 1.5 Kg tiny lemons
- Grounded salt
- Paprika
- Ground dried chili pepper (optional)
- One large sterilized jar
Wash all lemons, and let it dry. Cut the lemon into half, take out the pits, dip the lemons in the salt-paprika-chili mixture and in the jar. Close the jar and wait for few about 3 weeks, turn the jar upside down every few days. The lemons juice will secrete and thicken.
