A few of you have asked for recipes using the Preserved Lemons of which we wrote two weeks ago. Here is a simple pasta recipe, which also uses roasted garlic.
Fettuccine with Preserved Lemon and Roasted Garlic
Serves 4-6
2 heads roasted garlic
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 pound fettucine
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 preserved lemon, pulp and rind, finely chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
3 Tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Roast the garlic. Remove from oven, cool slightly and squeeze garlic out of husks. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil, salt, and cook the fettuccine until tender. Drain and place in serving bowl.
Meanwhile, combine the tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. When the butter melts, add the roasted garlic and lemon and cook 1 minute, stirring. Toss with the fettuccine. Toss the fettuccine again with the Parmesan and parsley and season generously with pepper.
Sounds crazy good. The best dishes are basic.
I'm trying it out tomorrow night. Will report back.
Anyone else have recipes for preserved lemon?
