Pickled Lemon

Cca 500 - 700g  lemon 

Wash lemons with hot water 

Take lemons, cut it in half  and squeeze out the juice. 

The juice you can use it for another purpose we do not require it for recipe 

Place lemons in enough cold water to cover all the lemons, soak 20 min

Remove from water and put it a large pot, cover with cold water

Bring to a boil (do not boil it for too long otherwise it will be mushy)

Strain, rinse with cold water, cover the lemons in cold water and boil again. 

Repeat this process until you can eat a piece of lemon and it is not bitter

This will be around 4 to 7 times, sometimes it is good but the aftertaste bitter so watch out for that.

When the lemon has a pleasant taste rinse with cold water and strain well

Garlic cloves crushed

Make medium brunoise of the lemons and place in the cold vinegar mixture, let infuse for minimum 1 and a half days
