Mildly tart Meyer lemons have a full, ripe, almost floral aroma. This recipe includes a method for making an easy version of Moroccan preserved lemons that very quickly draws out bold flavor from thin slices of Meyer lemons. Their citrusy intensity adds sunny notes to this braised dish that is fragrant with spices.
