Grilled Lime Chicken
Limes are a great fruit to cook with because they add a tart and juicy flavor to any dish. Chicken is a versatile protein that can be cooked in many different ways, so grilling it with lime is a great option for a summertime meal.
To make grilled lime chicken, start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of fresh lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Then, grill the chicken over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. Serve the chicken with additional lime slices and enjoy!
Ceviche
Ceviche is a dish that originates from the coastal regions of Latin America. It typically consists of raw fish that is "cooked" in citrus juice, and then seasoned with spices and herbs.
There are many different ways to make ceviche, but the most important ingredient is fresh, high-quality fish. The fish should be cut into small pieces and marinated in lime juice for at least an hour ( longer if possible). After the fish has had time to "cook" in the acidity of the lime juice, it is then mixed with chopped onions, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and other seasonings.
Ceviche can be served as an appetizer or main course, and is often served with tortilla chips or crackers. It can also be served on a bed of lettuce or simply by itself.
Key Lime Pie
There are few desserts as iconic as key lime pie. This tart and sweet treat is perfect for summertime, and is sure to please any crowd. While there are many different ways to make key lime pie, the classic version is always a hit. This recipe features a creamy filling and a flaky crust, and can be easily made at home.
To make the filling, you will need:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup key lime juice
4 egg yolks
1 tsp grated lime zest
To make the crust, you will need:
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
To make the filling, simply combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and let the pie sit in the hot oven for another 5 minutes. This will help to set the filling. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
