In the same way that we'd caramelize an onion to add sweetness and depth to a savory dish, we can caramelize a lemon to add a delicious, unique dimension to any dish.

Whole lemons lose some of their tartness and bitterness when they’re caramelized, but their flavor still comes through, creating a fresh, nuanced, and rich dish.

To caramelize a lemon, place thin slices in a frying pan with cooking oil over medium-low heat. Turn a few times until each side is browned and the lemon is dissolved and softened.
