What would you do with 4 lemons?

Not lemonade (did that recently and no bugger drank it except me) or pancakes (too much standing around in the kitchen for very little food).
Ideas?

lemon drizzle cake would use one?

biglips · 25/06/2006 14:59

lemon cake/cheesecake, lemon chicken, it will go on salad.

Kelly1978 · 25/06/2006 15:07

ooh mediterranean stylelemon chick casserole with olives is nice. I lvoe it, but dp doesn't so I never get to make it any mroe.

I was thinking about cheesecake...would have to be a tofu one though as I don't eat dairy, and haven't come across the right recipe yet (ie, one I have all the ingredients for!)

Definitely go for the gin and tonic

MarsLady's Lemon Drizzle cake uses 2. Make 2 of them and freeze one (cut into slices for quick defrosting)

TooTicky · 25/06/2006 15:17

hmm, lemon chicken without the chicken maybe (as I'm veggie - tofu maybe?)
Meringue without the eggs? Possible, I think, with some egg replacer powder...
Salad no prob, although it won't be so popular with the kids...
Drizzle cake sounds fun...
Awkward, aren't I? Also no good at decisions

Gin and lemon without the gin as we don't have any? I suspect it wouldn't be the same.
2 cakes sounds good, doubt they'd make it to the freezer though...too many cake lovers in this house!

Lemon butter
Lemon syllabub
lemon curd
candied lemon peel

I would never create a recipe around 4 lemons.
How odd.
They will keep you know!

Still,halve one,push it up a chicken and roast and voila there is your lemon chicken Trinity.

squish into coke.

The Romans used to halve them and use them as diaphragms

or was it the Greeks?

moondog · 25/06/2006 16:03

Etruscans actually.....

suzywong · 25/06/2006 16:03

Smart Arse

moondog · 25/06/2006 16:04

Ignore me.
Feeling flippant.

madmarchhare · 25/06/2006 16:05

Thats one for the lentil weavers to have a go at.

moondog · 25/06/2006 16:07

Only the hardiest lentil weaver would dare.
I nominate Spidermama.
Anyone who had four kids sans birth control could take on a grove's worth of lemons and come out smiling.

moondog · 25/06/2006 16:07

Pain relief I mean.
Deary me.

madmarchhare · 25/06/2006 16:11

lol, yes, she was the one who introduced the whole mooncup malarky to me.

TooTicky · 25/06/2006 17:29

Actually, I've got 5 lemons but one is starting to look a little green around the gills, hence my wish to use them before they follow suit.

Lemon, honey and garlic chicken

8 chicken pieces
3 lemons
50g butter
3 tbsp clear honey
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 rosemary springs, leaves stripped from stalks
750g potatoes with skins still on chopped into cm chunks

Preheat oven to 200C

Squeeze juice from 2 lemons. Put in a small pan with butter, honey, garlic, rosemary and lots of salt and pepper. Heat gently till butter melts.

Arrange chicken in one layer in roasting tin. Put potatoes around chicken. Drizzle lemon butter over chicken and pots, turning until evenly coated. Cut remaining lemon into 8 wedges and nestle among pots.

Roast for 50 mins/1hr stirring a couple of times until chicken is cooked.

It is YUMMY
