Tips for Preparing Ladolemono:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Select ripe, juicy lemons for a tart, citrusy taste. - Use a microplane grater to finely zest the lemons, releasing their aromatic oils. - Remove the pith from the lemons before juicing to avoid bitterness. - Whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice slowly over a double boiler to prevent curdling. - Gradually whisk in the hot broth to temper the egg yolks and prevent scrambling. - Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice, if desired. - Garnish the soup with chopped fresh dill or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.Conclusion:
