Check out these PROTIPs from Chef Keri on why you should zest your lemon, a couple of approaches to use when squeezing your lemon juice into the bowl, and how the black pepper and lemon juice and zest work extremely well together.

  • Zesting the lemon rind into the aioli significantly enhances the citrus lemon flavor in the dish.
