Leveraging Lemons
Lemons are not just limited to brightening the senses
Lemons are not just for garnish! Using lemons as in these pictures brightens food taste and enhances many foods. Just a squeeze of lemon over chicken adds an acidic pop that gives it a more satisfying mouth feel and taste.
Use orange zest to flavor a simple rice side dish or to give a little extra umph to orange juice in a recipe. Limes are great for many ethnic dishes and makes all the difference in marinades.
I use the zest of all citrus in different types of breadings for fish or chicken. Try adding the zest of a lemon to a fresh dressing or vinaigrette to power up the flavor for your salads, also.
