Provided by Sally

Categories     Cookies

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 and 2/3 cups (209g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 Tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped/minced crystallized ginger, divided
3/4 cup (90g) confectioners' sugar (or more, as needed)
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons (23ml) fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 1 minute. Add the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in 2 Tablespoons of chopped crystallized ginger. Dough will be thick and sticky. Scoop small sections of dough (about 1 scant Tablespoon of dough each) and roll into balls. Very lightly dip the tops of each into remaining crystallized ginger. (You don't want too much- just a few pieces.) Place dough balls onto a large plate or lined baking sheet.
  • Cover and chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (and up to 4 days).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Arrange chilled cookie dough balls 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk the glaze ingredients together. If desired, add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or more juice to thin out. The thicker the glaze, the whiter (and less translucent) it will be. Drizzle on cooled cookies. Icing will set after about 1 hour, so these are convenient to store and transport.
  • Cookies without glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Cookies with glaze stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Salted Preserved Lemons image

This is a Moroccan recipe.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     condiment

Time P4DT3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Fennel seeds
Cinnamon stick
Coriander seeds
Peppercorns
Bay Leaf
Sea salt
Large fat Lemons (preferably Sicilian ones with the leaves still attached)

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix the spices into the sea salt. Cut a cross into the lemons -- almost to the base, but so that the quarters stay together. Push the seasoned salt into the lemon segments and pack the lemons as tightly as possible into an airtight jar. The less space there is between the lemons the more attractive it will look and you won't need to use so much salt. The lemons will be ready after one month of preserving, and will last for about 2 years. Tips:The peel is edible This also works very well with limes You could preserve oranges like this too -- but there are not so many recipes which use them You must use sea salt not table salt -- table salt is too chemical and harsh
  • Uses:For seasoning rice and couscous -- it works like salt and makes the rice and couscous lemon scented Put chicken/fish into a foil bag and bake with the lemon salt Use to season stews and soups ;

LEMON-GINGER TART



Lemon-Ginger Tart image

Somewhere between a lemon bar and a lemon pie lies this ultra tangy tart. "Tart" makes it sound difficult, but it's easier than you think: The rich filling requires zero cooking, and the crust is a simple shortbread that you just press into place. The already vibrant yellow filling gets an assist from a bit of ground turmeric. It's an ingredient that you won't taste as much as you'll see, but it just so happens to pair perfectly with the freshly grated ginger. It's an extra step, but don't skip straining the filling. It will get rid of any lumps that the whisk couldn't tackle and will prevent those unsightly air bubbles that can rise to the top after baking. The lemon slices, while optional, are not frivolous: They add a bit of texture and welcome bitterness to the tart.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/82 grams confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup/170 grams (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup/240 milliliters fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cup/252 grams granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup/32 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in melted butter and, using a spatula, mix until it's well combined (it'll have a sort of Play-Doh texture). Press this into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan (or you can use a 9-inch springform pan, going about an inch up the sides), using a measuring cup to flatten and make sure it's all even.
  • Bake the tart shell until it's a pale golden brown on the edges and baked through on the bottom (it will lose that greasy shine), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling and assemble: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, egg, flour, ginger, turmeric and salt. Make sure no lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to make sure no bits of flour or egg are left behind. Add lemon slices, if using, and stir to coat. Set the lemon slices aside.
  • Transfer filling to the crust (depending on the depth of your pan, you may have a few tablespoons left over). Lay reserved lemon slices across the top. Bake until the edges are set and the center no longer jiggles, but does not look dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

SALTED LEMON-GINGER SPRITZER



Salted Lemon-Ginger Spritzer image

A little sweet, lightly sour and a touch briny: This spritz is inspired by the salty lemonade found in Vietnam as a way to beat the heat. Without ice and ginger beer, this mix keeps well in the fridge, so consider making a large batch to help get you through the summer. If adding ginger kombucha, bear in mind that, though most brands are not legally considered alcoholic by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, they do contain trace amounts (up to 0.5 percent). If you're strictly abstaining, opt for something like non-alcoholic ginger beer or ginger ale.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     non-alcoholic drinks

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 lemon, seeds removed, coarsely chopped (skin, peel and all)
Small pinch of kosher salt or fine sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
Ginger beer or ginger kombucha, to taste
Lemon wedge or slice of fresh ginger, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the lemon and salt in a large wine glass and using the back of a spoon, lightly muddle to break up and release some of the oils and juices. Add lemon juice and ginger (if using) and top with lots of ice and ginger beer. Garnish with lemon wedge or fresh ginger.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons are a great choice for this recipe because they are less acidic and have a sweeter flavor. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but you may need to reduce the amount of sugar you use.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can't find fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but you will need to use about 1/4 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the ginger: Ginger can quickly become bitter if it is overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Use a good quality salt: The type of salt you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your finished product. Use a sea salt or kosher salt that has a nice, clean flavor.
  • Store the lemon-ginger salt in an airtight container: This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the salt.

Conclusion:

Lemon-ginger salt is a versatile seasoning that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is great on chicken, fish, vegetables, and even fruit. It can also be used as a finishing salt for soups, salads, and pasta dishes. With its bright, citrusy flavor and slightly spicy kick, lemon-ginger salt is sure to add a delicious touch to your next meal.
