Just when I need something in the fridge or to wear or to read, I've discarded it during a cleaning frenzy or it's in the wash or at the dry cleaners. Welcome to my world. Swordfish is a great alternative. The tuna got a bit pricey, huh. If you go to my site or Betsy's site, there is a link for Mark Bittman's Quick Preserved Lemons. Betsy told me about it. I've made two batches - good and easy.Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-25183574014560775672014-08-10T17:45:35.957-07:002014-08-10T17:45:35.957-07:00Kudos to you for being resourceful with the olives...Kudos to you for being resourceful with the olives and preserved lemons.

I would have been so freaked about chucking them when a recipe called for them (I mean seriously, what are the chances ???) that I am not sure I could have pulled off making the dish :) Great job on the results and nice to know that swordfish worked well too - not sure when I am shelling out $24.99 a pound again.....tricia s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06247980519576579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-67268232041544896382014-08-09T22:50:55.137-07:002014-08-09T22:50:55.137-07:00Your tuna confit looks good, lemon or no lemon.

I used some preserved lemons I made yonks ago - no idea how old they are and I don't want to ask the question, as I made them using free lemons from a friend's tree (lemons are expensive!).

So, if it makes you feel any better, yours may well have been beyond use by the time you tossed them.

I have always resorted to Mark Bittman's quick preserved lemons which only take 3 hours to be ready. I'm glad to hear about another fish that cooked well with this method. I loved this dish too.Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803470246363113005.post-76521998356918006652014-08-08T14:40:36.085-07:002014-08-08T14:40:36.085-07:00I had just about the right amount of preserved lem...I had just about the right amount of preserved lemons left from a dish ages ago and I could kick myself for tossing them too.
