Preserved Lemon Dip Recipe

Preserved Lemon Dip Recipe

  • 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced anchovies
  • 2 tablespoons minced cornichons
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • Peel from 1 preserved lemon, rinsed, minced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup olive oil
  1. Whisk first 8 ingredients in large bowl. Gradually whisk in both oils. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 2 weeks. Rewhisk before serving.
  2. Harissa paste, a spicy North African red chili paste, is sold at some supermarkets and Middle Eastern markets. If unavailable, substitute hot Thai-style chili sauce, such as Sriracha. Jars of preserves (brine-cured) lemons can be found at many specialty foods stores. If unavailable, substitute a mixture of 1/4 cup grated lemon peel, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon salt (let stand at room temperature for an hour before using).
