lemons

I have a whole tree full of ripe lemons. While I would like to use them all for cocktails I fear that would make me an alcoholic so give me some recipes. Light desert would be nice or something with meat. Hubby won't eat seafood but we do eat a lot of chicken.

Also, many shish kebab recipes contain a significant amount of lemon juice.

Morroccan preserved lemon is supposed to be delicious. I looked at a recipe and then never made it, but it's still on my list of things to make.

Lemon pasta, google the cooks illustrated recipe.

this may be a silly question, but do you include fish when you say no seafood?

I will eat fish, the husband won't. I am allergic to shellfish also.

make yourself ceviche. it's so, so simple and so, so good for you. and you won't have to share.

since it's typically served with corn on the cob and potatoes AND the majority of the ceviche prep is done the day before it won't be a big deal to grill a different protein for him when you eat.

I like eating lemons straight up with salt.
