    • Make an irresistible labane dip by mixing the preserved lemon into your yogurt and top it with olive oil and za’atar.

    • Tuna Salad! Make a quick meal by mixing your tuna fish with harissa, preserved lemon with or without mayo. The citrusy flavor will uplift the salad altogether. Add olives, capers, scallions for if you have on hand.

    • Mix with olive oil for a super simple yet impressive vinaigrette salad dressing. A few salad recipes for inspiration: Lettuce Salad, Roasted Pepper Salad with Burrata and Za’atar Chips, or Roasted Pepper & Chickpea Salad.

    • Make instant ceviche by mixing raw fish with the preserved lemon and add your preferred ingredients to go with it.

    • Create an irresistible tahini dip/dressing by replacing the lemon in the recipe with the lemon paste.

    • Add it to your cocktails for a bright surprise.

    • Potato salad works so well with preserved lemon. You can make a more traditional version or try a Moroccan inspired recipe with harissa.

    • Smoked fish makes a great combination with preserved lemon. They are both salty ingredients so, you need to watch the amount, but when used right, it is just *chef’s kiss*.

    • Use it as a zesty marinade for your chicken and beef.

    • Roasted salmon! Just two ingredients; salmon and preserved lemon paste. It’s quick, healthy, and so tasty. 

    • Pasta! We all love pasta. Toss the preserved lemon paste through pasta and parmesan for a quick weeknight meal or mix in while making your favorite pasta salad.

    • Lemon pound cake. Add to your pound cake batter and to your frosting/glaze.

    • Add a zesty note to your Chicken Soup by adding a touch of preserved lemon paste when serving. 

    • Sandwiches; the options here are endless. Start by spreading it on bread and top with avocado.

    • Vegetable platter, whether fresh-cut vegetables or roasted vegetables in the oven, drizzle a mixture of preserved lemon and olive oil when serving. You can also finish it off by sprinkling za’atar or dukkah for an extra oomph.

    • Grilled fish & seafood; brush with preserved lemon before grilling.

    • Mix it in with your salsa! From a tomato salsa to an herb salsa, the preserved lemon brings it all together.

    • Take your homemade hummus to a new level by replacing the lemon in your recipe with the lemon paste. I like making my hummus with white beans and topping it with sautéed spinach or any other roasted vegetable, finish with a sprinkle of dukkah spice/fiery harissa.

    • Slow cooked stews come to life with an addition of preserved lemon paste. Add it to slow cooked lamb, chicken, fish, or any vegetable dish.

    • Make preserved lemon yogurt so you can top it with your fav roasted vegetable.

    • Upgrade the lemon yogurt from above by making it tzatziki style; add cucumber, olive oil, dill, mint, and garlic. Serve with Crispy Za’atar Potatoes.

    • Make preserved lemon ice cream.

    • Make quick pickles by mixing preserved lemon, salt with your desired vegetable. Carrot, cauliflower, cucumber, and fennel all work great as pickles. Let sit for a few hours before serving, if possible.

    • Grain bowls; season your preferred grain with preserved lemon and olive oil before you place all of your toppings.

    • Add to your guacamole.

    • Beans, any beans. Cook until soft and set aside. In a pan warm up minced garlic, fiery/rosey harissa spice, olive oil, and preserved lemon paste toss the beans and swirl it together. Garnish with herbs and grated cheese.

    • Preserved lemon aioli or just mix with mayo for any application.

    • Add to your chicken patties.

    • I love fennel with preserved lemon paste. Either keep it fresh by shaving the fennel very fine and mix it with olive oil and preserved lemon paste or sautee the fennel and finish it off by mixing preserved lemon paste.

    • Make Lebanese garlic sauce called Toum. Replace the lemon juice with preserved lemon paste and taste for salt before you add any. This is a great base recipe.

    • Add a spoonful to your pesto for a bright citrus touch.

THE FRAMEWORK FOR THIS COLLECTION

Our Winter/Earth Element Collection arrives into the season of Samhain – that threshold between the last new moon of the dying Celtic year in October, astronomical Samhain, and the first new moon of the year to come in November. It is here that endings and beginnings lie folded together – a dreamtime of moons that leads us into the deepest dark – asking us to walk slowly, to walk in Earth time. 

 

This is not the hurried clock-time of the everyday. It is slow time – deep time – recorded in bedrock and fault-line, in layers pressed through clay and shale. As the earth keeps her history in stone and strata, so we carry memory in bone. The land is our larger body – marrow and mountain, clay and skin, each carrying memory. To enter this season is to enter those depths, to map again the contour lines of the inner ground, to feel where the body holds fractures, pressure, weight-bearing, release. The work is slow. The work is old. Stone remembers, and so do we. Our bodies are cairns of remembrance.

​

Between Samhain and Solstice we are pilgrims moving through inner hollows and chambers of the soul. It is sanctuary time, a time of reverence and devotion, where prayer is not passive but visceral and embodied – where we kneel not before idols but within the tabernacle of our own being. The ember of light is entrusted to us here, and it must be guarded with care – fanned in trust, sheltered in hope, nourished with care, until it kindles to flame and warmth.

​

Samhain is also the season of surrender. To grieve what has passed in the twelve months gone. To honour ancestors, yes, but also to lay down the burdens of the year, the losses and thresholds crossed, the shocks and griefs that linger. As leaves return to soil, so sorrow returns to earth, darkening into humus that feeds what will come. In the body, this work is felt in the earth element – in the musculoskeletal frame, in the gut’s deep work of breaking down and letting go. To release is to create space, and to hold is to become heavy. The earth teaches us this balance, for she both receives and yields in the same breath.

 

This is the annual pilgrimage to the soul’s inner shrine – beyond one life, beyond one line of ancestry. It is the thread that connects us with stone and to soil, with grandmother and grandfather, with all who came before and all who will come after. In this time-out-of-time we reweave ourselves into that thread, into the north, into the slow, enduring rhythm of earth itself. And from that ground – from a living tapestry of blood and bone and surrender – the Solstice light is born again. A flame at the heart of winter.
