Lime Pepper Recipes

SHISHITO PEPPERS WITH CHILI AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot, then add the shishito peppers. Cook, stirring frequently to allow even charring, until softened slightly and blistered in spots, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the chili powder, sesame seeds, zest, 2 teaspoons salt and some black pepper in a small bowl. Combine ponzu and lime juice in another bowl.
• Place peppers in a large bowl and toss with the spice mixture and about half the ponzu-lime mixture, stirring well to evenly coat the peppers. Place on a serving platter, finish with flaky salt and serve with the remaining sauce alongside.

LIME PEPPER

Steps:

• Combine the lime zest, black pepper, and salt in an airtight jar. Shake to mix. Use in recipes where you would use lemon pepper.

SPICY GARLIC LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and parsley. Sprinkle spice mixture generously on both sides of chicken breasts.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons garlic powder and lime juice. Cook 5 minutes more, stirring frequently to coat evenly with sauce.

LIME PEPPER

Steps:

• To prepare the dried lemon and lime zest, cut the zest from a lime and a lemon, dry it by placing it on a cookie sheet in a low (150°) oven for 24 hours. Then break it into small pieces and pulverize it in a spice grinder.
• Place the lime and lemon zest, pepper and salt in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind until you have a well-mixed powder. Use to season everything from steaks to fish to salads.
