Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons and Olives



Tuesday June 7
The base recipe is here, but scaled-down and adapted to 2 chicken breasts sans livers, sans marination.  We especially liked the step of squishing out the onion juice. 
Holt had decided that his Blues name was Preserved Lemon (Jefferson or Taft), so he was eager to make them, following the David Warda and Claudia Roden's guides. But the stone we put on top of them to hold them down in the brine turned out to be limestone, which grew and threw a crust of calcium carbonate on top.  Still good lemons, though.
Served on a bed of garden greens.
