This elegant lemon confit is an essential vegan condiment that brings a concentrated, zesty brightness to your cooking. By gently poaching thin strips of lemon zest in a blend of olive oil and rapeseed oil, the citrus becomes tender and loses its sharp acidity, resulting in a mellow, sophisticated flavour profile. The addition of a single garlic clove provides a subtle savoury depth that complements the natural oils of the fruit.
Ideal for storing in the fridge, this homemade preserve is a versatile addition to a variety of seasonal dishes. Use the softened peel to garnish roasted Mediterranean vegetables, stir it through a fresh pasta salad, or drizzle the infused oil over grilled fish or salad leaves. It is a fantastic way to elevate simple ingredients with minimal effort, making it a reliable staple for any home cook.
