PRESERVED LEMON POTATO SALAD



Preserved Lemon Potato Salad image

This no-mayo potato salad is an excellent dish to serve year-round. It's bursting with Mediterranean flavor thanks to kalamata olives, preserved lemon, lots of fresh herbs and a splash of olive oil. It's a great side for grilled meat or fish, and since it doesn't contain mayonnaise it's a good option for a picnic or barbecue where you won't have easy access to a fridge.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1 preserved lemon (see Cook's Note)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 to 3 tablespoons juice from preserved lemons

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the parsley, dill, mint and scallions in a large bowl. Add the red onion and olives and stir to combine.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool completely. Chop the boiled potatoes into bite-size (about 3/4-inch) pieces. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the herbs and toss. Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use.) Finely chop the lemon rind (peel); you should have about 2 tablespoons. Add the rind to the bowl along with the garlic, olive oil, honey, 2 tablespoons of preserved lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Give it a good stir and taste; if it needs more salt, add another 1 tablespoon or so of the preserved lemon juice (see Cook's Note). Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are ideal for preserving because they have a thin rind and a sweet-tart flavor. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but you may need to adjust the amount of sugar you use.
  • Use a clean jar. Before you start preserving your lemons, make sure the jar you're using is clean and sterilized. This will help to prevent the lemons from spoiling.
  • Pack the lemons tightly. When you're packing the lemons into the jar, make sure they're packed tightly so that there's no air pockets. This will help to prevent the lemons from oxidizing and turning brown.
  • Cover the lemons with olive oil. Once the lemons are packed into the jar, cover them completely with olive oil. This will help to seal the lemons and prevent them from spoiling.
  • Store the lemons in a cool, dark place. The best place to store preserved lemons is in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. This will help to preserve their flavor and quality.

Conclusion:

Preserved lemons are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They add a bright, citrusy flavor to salads, stews, and tagines. They can also be used to make a refreshing lemonade or iced tea. If you're looking for a new way to add some flavor to your cooking, I highly recommend trying preserved lemons.
