Week... Um... Oh, Forget It! Lemon Pickle
Wednesday is Library Day. The Boy and I go to our town library each Wednesday evening so that he can pick three new books for the week.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to check out a couple of cookbooks. One of them was "A Taste Of Palace Life: Royal Indian Cookery" by Manju Shivra Singh. The recipes looked intriguing and I took a stab at Sweet Lemon Pickle (Neebu le meetba achaar).
It took a pound of lemons, 20 cloves of garlic and a week to make. I was slightly dubious - it looked fairly generically chutney-ish - but it was so good that I immediately went online and ordered my own copy of the book.
The Taste - Sweet, slightly acidic, a little like mango chutney, until you finish chewing the lemon and you get hit over the head with an intense lemony taste that is AMAZING!
