Salad of mató with preserved lemons

I always thought that preserved lemons were from North Africa, and were perhaps introduced to Catalonia by the Moors, but have since discovered that it was very common to make them here long before they arrived.

Feel free to preserve more than two lemons as they keep for a long time and are great for salads or even for some fish stews. You can add them at the end and they will raise the stew to the next level – if you like lemons, of course!

Serves 4

2 lemons

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar

2 tablespoons flaky sea salt

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 whole red chilli

2–3 sprigs lemon verbena or lemon thyme

handful of baby salad leaves

150 g (5 oz) fresh raw peas

1 bunch of asparagus, shaved into thin ribbons with a potato peeler

30 g (1 oz) shaved hard Catalan or manchego cheese
