Best 9 Red Onion Parsley And Preserved Lemon Salad Recipes

COUSCOUS-PARSLEY SALAD WITH PRESERVED LEMON

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the couscous with the water and lemon juice. Let stand 1 hour.
• To the couscous add the olive oil, parsley, mint, preserved lemon rind, pine nuts, salt and pepper. Mound the couscous in the center of a serving platter. Top with diced tomato. Surround the base with endive leaves. Serve at room temperature.
• Scrub the lemons under running water and pat dry. Cut a thin slice from each end of a lemon. Set on end and make a vertical cut 3/4 of the way through the fruit, leaving the 2 halves attached. Turn the lemon upside down, rotate 90 degrees, and make a second vertical cut, again 3/4 of the way through the fruit. Fill each cut with as much salt as it will hold. Place the lemon in a sterilized, 1-quart size, wide-mouth canning jar. Proceed in this manner for the remaining lemons, pressing as many into the jar as possible. Seal and set aside at room temperature. Add additional lemons over the next few days as the rinds of the first lemons begin to soften. By this time, the juices should have risen to cover the lemons. If not, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt. This will prevent the top lemons from darkening. Store at room temperature until the rinds become tender, and the pulp acquires the consistency of jam, 3 to 4 weeks. Refrigerate. Use within 6 months.
• Yield: 1 quart

PRESERVED LEMON POTATO SALAD

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.

RED ONION, PARSLEY, AND PRESERVED LEMON SALAD

Steps:

• To prepare salad:
• In a bowl cover onions with cold water and soak 30 minutes. Drain onions well and pat dry between layers of paper towels. In a bowl stir together onions with remaining ingredients and let stand, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
• To make Paula Wolfert's Seven-Day Preserved Lemons:
• Dry lemons well and cut each into 8 wedges. In a bowl toss wedges with salt and transfer to a glass jar (about 6-cup capacity). Add lemon juice and cover jar with a tight-fitting glass lid or plastic-coated lid. Let lemons stand at room temperature 7 days, shaking jar each day to redistribute salt and juice. Add oil to cover lemons and store, covered and chilled, up to 6 months. Makes 4 preserved lemons.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH PRESERVED LEMON, GARLIC, AND CHILES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss potatoes with 1/3 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet, season with salt, and roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 40 minutes. Add jalapenos, garlic, onion, and 7 tablespoons preserved lemon. Cook, tossing once, until onion and jalapenos are softened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toss parsley, mint, and lemon juice with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining 1 tablespoon preserved lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, with herb salad sprinkled over top.

PRESERVED LEMON & TOMATO SALAD WITH FETA

• Toss gently just before serving along with chunks of warm, crusty bread.

ARMENIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
• Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
• While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
• Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
• Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.
