Finely slice your lemons, onions and ginger Smash your bird chilli peppers.

Heat up a pan and add some vegetable oil in it. Once the pan is hot, throw your lemons, onions, ginger, bird chilli peppers into the pan. Stir well, let them sweat on a medium heat until the onions are clear and your lemons are soft. Be careful not to burn them.

Put the content of the pan into a jar and cover to the top with vegetable oil to preserve your citrus achards.

Eat your citrus achards with rice along with an Asian or Creole dish. It is also great in sandwiches, use them instead of pickles.
