Quick and easy preserved lemon

4 big lemons, sliced and cut in half 

1 tsp. Paprika 

1 tbsp. Salt 

About ½ cup oil

1 hot and dried pepper (Sudaniya)

3 garlic cloves, sliced 

A pinch of sugar 

1. In a wide skillet place the oil and heat on low. Don’t bring to a boil. 

2. Add the lemons and the rest of the ingredients. Mix. 

3. Simmer on low- medium heat for about 20 minutes. The lemons will start to soften from the oil and the juice of it. 

4. Transfer to a clean jar. If the oil doesn’t cover the lemons, add some. Oil helps to preserve it. 

5. Store in the fridge.
