Wondering what to do with the jar of preserved lemons that someone gave you for Christmas? Have they been sitting on a shelf for months, keeping company with the Syrian apricot paste and tamarind juice? Do you have your own Gourmet Ghetto, located not in Berkeley, but in the back of your cupboard? Open those mysterious jars and packages! Here's one recipe to get you started.
PRESERVED LEMON RELISH
2 preserved lemons, rinsed and chopped fine
6 green onions, sliced
1/2 c. chopped parsley, or mixed parsley and cilantro
3 - 4 T olive oil
juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
Mix everything together, adding enough olive oil to make the mixture loose enough to spoon onto whatever you're serving it with. Season with freshly-ground pepper. The lemons are probably salty enough that you won't have to add much salt, if any. Good with grilled fish, grilled chicken - probably be good with grilled lamb, too. Simple!
