I have acquired millions of lemons, through the generosity of fellow villagers ....

Does anyone have any bright ideas / recipes for using them up?

Some are thin-skinned and very juicy and some thick-skinned, little juice.

Lemon Chicken.

Ingredients
450g/1lb chicken breasts, no skin or bone - cut into strips
1 egg white
2 tsp cornflour
good pinch salt
sesame oil
250ml/8fl oz groundnut oil
3 lemons, juice and zest
85ml/2fl oz chicken stock
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp light soy sauce
splash of dry sherry
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp cornflour or arrowroot - mixed with water
small bunch spring onions, shredded
seasoning



Method
1. Combine the egg white, cornflour, salt, a little sesame oil and chicken in a bowl - stir to make sure the chicken is well coated. Leave for about 20 minutes.
2. Heat a wok until very hot, add some groundnut oil and heat until smoking. Remove from the heat and add the chicken - stir quickly to stop it from sticking and cook until the chicken turns white. Drain the chicken over a heatproof bowl, set the chicken to one side, allow the oil to cool and discard.
3. Wipe the wok clean and make the sauce. Add the stock, lemon juice, sugar, soy and dry sherry together with the garlic and chilli. Bring to the boil and whisk in the cornflour or arrowroot mixture. Simmer gently for a few moments and then add the chicken. Stir fry to make sure the chicken is well coated and heated through properly.
4. Add a little sesame oil as final seasoning and serve scattered with spring onions

Lemon Mushrooms:
Pan fry Cyprus mushrooms in lemon butter,top with grilled halloumi..

[kafenes]

Fresh home made lemonade (squash).
10-12 lemons for 1 kilo white sugar.

Wash lemons well, wipe them dry and cut them (leaving the skin on) into rings (5-6 per lemon).
Place the lemon rings into a large bowl and pour sugar over it.
Cover it and leave it overnight.
Squeeze the mixture with hands and remove the squeezed lemons from the container.
Strain the juice, bottle it and keep it in the fridge.
Drink it by adding cold water (about 1/5 juice and 4/5 water depending on taste).
Your son will love and makes good presents for the neighbours.

Will last 3-4 weeks in the fridge.
