I made beef and barley soup last night that was the best ever.
A couple of anchovie filets pureed is the key. Of course that and the HOURS and HOURS of work it takes to make a good soup. |

did you ever try the tubes of anchovie paste? I keep one in the fridge for caesar salads.

How long do those last? Personally I can eat anchovies on crackers so the rest never go to waste but that paste would remove a step.

Probably about 6 months.

You take some lemons (meyers if you can get them).
Cut them open in 4 places, but leave them hooked together at the ends. Pack the slits with tons of Kosher salt and then cram them in a mason jar as tightly as you can. Then cover them with the juice of a couple more lemons. I also added a cinnamon stick, a bay leaf, some cloves, and a few peppercorns. Set the jar on the counter and turn it over every day for three weeks. Once you open up the jar and use a few, cover the top with olive oil. Delicious. |

What do they taste like? Like olives? Do you eat them by themselves or do you cook with them? Do you eat the peels?

I will have to try that. We, of course, always make our caesar salad from scratch as well. We are old school... we still use the egg too. I love barley. I am surprised it is not more popular. |

You only eat the peel.
Scrape the flesh out and slice the peel as finely as you can and add it to stew type stuff, rice, etc. Larger pieces can be great served with really strong cheeses. They taste like lemon....only more....the peel gets slightly translucent. They remind me of something else, but I can't think of what it is right now. |

That sounds good!
I love lemon. Probably more than any other flavor. |

Why wouldn't you just peel the lemon before brining it? You could get a lot more in the jar that way.
ETA: WAIT! Would this work with limes I wonder? I love to add lime to my vodka. I slice it up and let it sit in the vodka for several hours before consuming it. You can't beat it.

I think the salt probably draws the juice from the inside lemon out.

The pulp expresses more juice while they sit.
That juice is needed for something. It's like science and shit. |
