Instructions
Red
- Grind the saffron threads in the palm of your hand, or in a mortar and pestle (preferred). Mix with 2 tablespoons of warm water in small bowl. Let sit and allow saffron to bloom and draw out as much color as possible. It should be a deep ruby red.
- Slice preserved lemons into quarters, then scoop out the pulp. Discard any seeds, save rind for other use. Roughly chop pulp and place in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Stir through saffron water and use as marinade, basting sauce or relish for seafood and chicken dishes.
Green
- Combine all ingredients and puree until smooth in food processor, blender, or with immersion blender. Add more lemon juice or water if needed for desired consistency.
Notes
- This makes about 1 cup total, 16 tablespoon servings.
