This smoky mezcal cocktail has sweetness and herbal flavors from red bell pepper, fresh basil, and amaro, yet is quite refreshing shaken with lime juice and served over ice.
Spice-Rubbed Salmon with Avocado Salsa
Extremely fast to prepare. Packs tons of flavor and nutrients into a satisfying meal.
Green Curry Fish with Roasted Carrots
A little creamy, a little spicy, and a ton of flavor.
Lemon (or any citrus) Curd
I make this at least twice a year as a gift for my Gram since it’s her favorite. It’s the perfect accompaniment for so many things, and it goes quickly at any tea party. I’ve used this same recipe to make any other citrus curd by swapping out the lemon for orange, lime, or grapefruit – so good!
Kidney Bean Soup with Lime Yogurt
This soup is high in protein, low in fat, and has a wealth of vitamin A. It’s also got a fantastic thick and creamy consistency. As far as flavor goes you get the standard kidney bean with the tangy yogurt and sweet lime all at once. Then that’s all rounded out with the cumin and chili powder for a wonderful finish.
Cumin Dry-Rub Ribs with Pineapple Salsa
The rub has just a few simple, savory spices, and there’s also a glaze of sweet, sticky, spicy sauce.
Black Bean Chili
This dish has a great balance between the creamy beans and the sweet corn, but it packs no heat.
Lime Crème Fraiche Cookies
Zesty and tart, and sweet at the same time.
Brown Rice and Black Bean Salad
This salad is super-simple to throw together and is packed with flavor and nutrients.
Sweet Potatoes with Collards and Aduki Beans
Slightly bitter collards contrasted by chunks of soft, slightly caramelized sweet potato. Add the crunchy texture and nutty flavor of toasted sunflower seeds, and the sweet and tangy pop! of freshly squeezed lime and my mouth simply does cartwheels.
