Ingredients

Instructions
- Prepare the lemons: Remove the preserved lemons from their jar. Rinse briefly if they are particularly salty, then remove the seeds.2. Add to a high-speed blender or food processor: Place the softened lemons, including the peel, into a food processor or high-speed blender.3. Blend: Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a little olive oil for a softer, creamier consistency.4. Adjust the texture: I like my paste fairly thick but spreadable. You don't want it so thin that it runs off a spoon.5. Transfer to a jar: Spoon the paste into a clean glass jar, smooth the top, and refrigerate.
