Meyer Lemons
I often find myself staring at some beautiful, fresh, short-seasoned ingredient at the food store that I simply must turn into a special dish. This happened to me yesterday, when I did my weekly grocery shopping and saw fabulous, yolk-hued Meyer lemons that seem to say “buy me”.
I’m now searching my recipe repertoire for some simple dishes that would highlight the citrus’ unique qualities. Will it be a tart, a Greek-style lemon soup (avgolemono), a piccata of some kind or an outstanding lemonade? Time will tell, but until I decide, I’m enjoying looking at a bowlful of sunshine in the middle of winter.
What have you made with Meyer lemons that I should be trying?
Lemon curd made w/Meyer lemons is probably one of the best things ever. Stabilize it with some gelatin and use it to fill a tart. Mmmmmm….Meyer Lemon Curd…. =D
That sounds amazing Jenni! My dad’s lemon curd pie would be super. Thanks for sharing!
Too bad your father is not around; his very favorite dessert being lemon meringue pie.
