Preserved Lemons And Limes image

This variation on a Moroccan compote adds a fresh note to chicken, pork or oily fish like bass, bluefish, tuna and swordfish, when rubbed in about an hour before grilling. To avoid a bitter taste, wipe excess off before grilling. Spoon fresh preserved lemon and lime over the grilled food before serving. It also makes a fine compliment to olives in a couscous, pasta or rice salad.
