Lemon powder is a natural flavor obtained by drying and grinding lemon peels. This versatile ingredient can be used to enrich the flavor and aroma of numerous culinary preparations, both sweet and savory.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it is a great way to avoid waste, using peels that would otherwise be discarded.<\/p>\n
Ingredients needed:<\/p>\n
Untreated lemon peels (preferably organic)
\nMethod:<\/p>\n
Preparation of peels:
\nWash the lemons thoroughly under running water to remove impurities and residues.
\nDry them with a clean cloth.
\nUsing a potato peeler or a sharp knife, remove the peel, avoiding the white part underneath, which could give the powder a bitter taste.
\nDrying the peels:
\nIn the sun: Place the peels on a tray covered with a clean cloth and let them dry in the sun for 2-3 days, removing them during the night to avoid humidity.
\nIn the oven: Place the peels on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 50\u00b0C for 2-3 hours, leaving the door slightly open to allow the humidity to escape.
\nWith a dehydrator: Set the temperature to 40-50\u00b0C and let them dry for about 5 hours, or until completely dehydrated.
\nThe peels will be ready when they are dry and crunchy to the touch.<\/p>\n
Grinding:<\/p>\n
Once dried, place the peels in a blender, spice grinder or food processor.
\nBlend until you obtain a fine, smooth powder.
\nIf necessary, sift the powder to remove any larger pieces.
\nStorage:
\nTransfer the lemon powder to a glass jar with an airtight seal.
\nStore in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
\nIf stored correctly, the powder will retain its aroma for several months.
\nUses in the kitchen:<\/p>\n
Desserts: Add lemon powder to cakes, biscuits, creams and muffins for a fresh and citrusy aroma.
\nSavoury dishes: Use it to flavour risottos, marinades for white meats, fish dishes and grilled vegetables.
\nBeverages: Mix a pinch of powder into herbal teas, teas or cold drinks for a refreshing touch.
\nDressings: Incorporate the powder into sauces, vinaigrettes or mayonnaise to enrich their flavour.
\nLemon powder is a precious ingredient that gives a special touch to your preparations, enhancing the flavours with its natural and intense fragrance.<\/p>\n
