Preserved Lemons

Have made these many times but the recipe wasn't on the blog when I needed it last night! Sweet BBQ and pluot jam and preserved lemon making party at Nicole and Jono's. From the New Book of Middle Eastern Food by Claudia Roden. The ratio is 5T salt to 1lb lemons. Stuff them into a jar and let them go for 4 days, after that add more lemon juice to cover. Can eat after a month.

Tempeh with Eggplant preserves

no pic. super tasty. tempeh is a fermented soy food. the marinated sliced tempeh that the co-op sells is tasty. the neutral flavor brick is pretty boring. sauteed up onion/garlic/jalapeno, added tempeh. ate it with eggplant preserve from the back of the fridge. Really the perfect combo as tempeh needs help and the eggplant is almost too much.
