I made them following a comment on a previous post but then I saw in Alice Water's book - Chez Panisse Fruit that she also has a recipe for deep frying meyer lemon slices. Very interesting, indeed.

Deep frying the lemon slices is brilliant. The greens are secondary at this point - it looks FABULOUS! Aw man, you scored little octopi?! yum! Deep frying the lemon slices is brilliant.

I know the feeling! I did that recently (however, I felt guilty after a few minutes and so I went back to return a few lemons so no one would say I'm hoarding all the meyers around here. I'm going to make a big batch of lemon curd and preserve that in some canning jars. I would love to make limoncello with these one day....maybe you're braver than I? WhiteonRice - if only you were my neighbor! WanderingChopsticks - Thanks - no, the meyer lemons are not that tart to me. I found that frying the thin-skinned ones were better because they had less of the white pith. Michelle - Great - I should note again that you might want to use the meyer lemons with the thinnest skin. Warda - Yes, you're so right! Baby octopus and calarmars are great in paella. I got them at the Asian grocery mart (frozen, though). Irene- Thanks - they do look quite cute, I must agree :) Chuck - Thanks - I don't deep fry much nor do I make tempura very often and this was certainly the first time I fried citrus. I think it was quite interesting - I think I'll try serving some to friends and see if they can tell what it is. Alejandra – You cleaned out the store of their meyer lemons? I know the feeling!
