What to do with Preserved Lemons

Preserved Lemons are everywhere these days. Everyone is making them. My question is...what are they doing with them? When I originally made these lemons I thought I would post the recipe for making them, but I have seen so many posts on how to preserved lemons lately it just seemed a little redundant. One thing I noticed in every one of those posts is that someone left a comment asking what to do with them. The reason I made them is my recent fascination with Harissa has let to a fascination with Moroccan food, which has let to...Preserved Lemons!  The method I used to make mine was from Hunter, Angler, Gardener, Cook. I recommend you head over there if you are still looking to make your lemons, Hank has several methods for preserving as well as some suggestions for how to use your lemons.
For those of you with a jar in hand I will provide you with some of the recipes and resources for what I plan on making with my preserved lemons.

The reason I made my lemons was for  this Moroccan Carrot Salad recipe. I have been making a similar one without the lemons. I can't get enough of them. A Preserved Lemon search on the Food52 site pulled up several pages of great sounding recipes including a Preserved Lemon and Thyme Compound Butter that would be good on a variety of meats or veggies, maybe even warm bread. 

Preserved Lemons with Asparagus appears to be a popular combination:
Asparagus with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette and Preserved Lemon from Tea and Cookies
Preserved Lemon and Spring Vegetable Risotto from The Dog's Breakfast

I found about 10 variations of this Moroccan Stew, I might try this one: Israeli Couscous with Butternut Squash and Preserved Lemons from David Lebovitz


Shae at Hitchhikng to Heaven posted this great story about Vietnamese Preserved Lemons. It also includes a cure for the common cold which is all too common this time of year. She also posted a link on Facebook for a great Moroccan Style Guacamole Recipe that contains preserved lemons.


The guacamole recipe let me to Kitchen Caravan which has several tempting Preserved Lemon recipes including a Tuna Salad that will be going with me to work next week, and a Martini (not at work) to go with that guacamole above. 


They serve Preserved Lemon Relish with Turkey on Leite's Culinaria. I see Harissa Salmon with this relish in my future. 


Speaking of Preserved Lemon Relish, how about a Harissa Onion Dog with Preserved Lemon Relish? Not into hot dogs? Me neither, but there are another 20 recipes for Preserved lemons on Epicurious.
