what to do with the surplus of lemons....create your own
hord'oeuvres....
i used one cup of couscous...six slices of bacon.... about a cup of
Parmesan cheese....lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of chopped capers....
delicious....i also imagine drinking shots of cold lemony vodka with this....wanna come over?
i cut a small portion of the bottom of the lemon off so they could stand on their own....
i juiced my lemons to create the cups....if you
dont have a juicer you can use a reamer and gently pull as much pulp as you can out....
i also
zested two small lemons and mixed the dry couscous with it in a mixing bowl....then you add one and a quarter cup of boiling water and cover bowl with a plate for five minutes....when it was done i added some olive oil (you could use butter as well) touch of salt and poured my plate of ingredients in the bowl and mixed....be sure to taste....you could also use chopped up
moroccan preserved lemons too....that sounds super good too....remember
im calling this scented....so the flavor is not super lemony but rather aromatic....oh yeah chopped parsley would be good in this too!
all done....yummy....if i was going to serve this to guests i would use caviar spoons especially since my lemons are small....i used six small lemons as serving cups and there was plenty left over....i could have probably filled at least between 12 and 14 lemon cups....so if you have big lemons it will be a different story....you could also use use small ramekins or bowls too....enjoy i did!
