Meyer-Lemon Relish image

With their thin, fragrant skins and low acidity, Meyer lemons are worth the splurge. This relish uses the whole fruit, which gets mellowed out by sauteed sweet fennel and onion. Serve alongside our Juniper-and-Gin Gravlax.

Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Meyer lemons, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small head fennel, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
Kosher salt
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Cut lemons lengthwise into eighths; remove seeds. Thinly slice crosswise into pieces (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add fennel, onion, fennel seeds, and a large pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is softened and just beginning to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add lemons, honey, and 1/3 cup water. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil; cook until reduced to a jammy consistency and liquid is almost completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; let cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

I'm not a big fan of lemon, but I really enjoyed this relish. The sweetness of the sugar balances out the tartness of the lemons perfectly.

This relish is the perfect way to add a pop of flavor to grilled chicken or fish. It's also great on tacos and sandwiches.

I love the idea of this relish, but I found it to be a bit too tart. I would add more sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my relish turned out bitter. I think I may have used too much lemon zest.

I found this relish to be a bit too runny. I would add more pectin next time to thicken it up.

This relish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This Meyer lemon relish is a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors. The addition of ginger and red pepper flakes gives it a nice kick. I served it with grilled fish and it was a perfect accompaniment.
