Fillet, home fries, broccolini.
Few reds.
I’m cool now.
But, but, you said broccolini. Are you sure you’re ok?

I found a recipe and says you add a spice to the preserve, so assume it is mainly used in curries and other spicy dishes?
Never used any spices in preserved lemon. You could, but not necessary, and probably limits what dish you put them in later. Just salt and lemon, extra lemon juice, stick 'em in a sterilized jar.

The recipe I use and apply to mandarins as well is this one. http://tvnz.co.nz/masterchef-new-zealand/masterclass-preserved-lemons-5352959/photos
Preserved Mandarins are excellent and only did due to having an abundance and trialled it. Now it is a seasonal event

Bearing in mind, I "hate" savoury fruit, I do use these as a addition to chicken dishes and fish. The mandarin side of it is more of the zest taste than the sweet fruit taste if that makes sense.

@Hooroo Like the idea of the chilli in there.
Have never done Mandarins (the fruit, you fuckers). Do you just use the skin like lemons (not people again you fuckers).
Followed that attached recipe exactly like lemons but subbed in Mandarins. I only found out they were good as I gave a jar accidently to the neighbour and they said they were amazing so tried a dish myself with them and was pleasantly surprised

Best green veg out there. Blanch it for about 3-4 mins tops. At same time put a knob if butter in fry pan snd when it’s just on the turn to brown, throw in a teaspoon of mustard (Dijon for me, but whole grain good too). Drain the broccolini and throw in. Squeeze of lemon then Toss til coated.
Chuck it on a plate and grate some Parmesan.
Healthy - gone.
Flavour - off the scale -

@Hooroo it’s a game changer for greens eating.
My kids love it.
Can use it for any green really but broccolini is superb as it’s the right texture
In Asian cuisine putting oyster sauce on all veges also works

@canefan Finely dice some garlic and ginger fry for 30 secs. Add one tablespoon oyster sauce and one teaspoon XO Fry for a further 30 secs. Add any green veg cook to coat.
Makes anything taste special.
What is "XO"?

@Hooroo Uncle google tells me it is an Asian sauce...

I don't have XO. But I routinely use everything else. And a little squirt of sesame oil gives it a little umami boost too

XO sauce is awesome. XO pipis on fried noodles is one of my favourites at the Sydney Chinese restaurants

@Hooroo Seafood based sauce developed in Hong Kong in the 80's. It's not really a sauce, way too thick - more like a pickle or relish consistency. You don't have it on its own but its like a magic flavour booster. Imagine the difference salt makes to something bland. That's XO. IT'S AN UMAMI EXPLOSION.
Its called XO coz its Extra Special. You can get it at Asian food shops but not generally labelled in English.
I use these guys https://www.goodchownz.com/page/389613 They make their own XO using blackfoot paua. It's fucking good.
You can make your own but it looks a laborious process with hard to source ingredients so why bother
