Ingredients
- 1/2 red chile chopped (See Note 1)
- 3 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 3 lemon very thinly sliced (See Note 2, plural
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cumin ground
Instructions
- Use a mortar and pestle to mash the red chile with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice; mixture should have a paste consistency. Alternatively, substitute the chile and teaspoon of lemon juice for 1 tablespoon red shatta sauce (my preference).
- Slice the lemons as thinly as possible. First, cut each lemon in half lengthwise, then cut each half widthwise into very thin slices. Add these to a bowl.
- Add the chile paste or shatta to the sliced lemons along with the remaining lemon juice, garlic, sugar and spices. Either use clean hands or a rubber spatula to combine mixture, being sure to coat all the lemon slices well. Cover and refrigerate overnight or 24 hours.
- You can then transfer sliced lemon pieces along with accumulated juices to a sterilized sealed jar, this will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks. You can also opt to make this into a chunky spread, which I prefer. If so, drain and discard juice. Then puree in food processor to desired consistency, this will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks as well.
