  1. Made for the first time using the First Fruits of my Persian Lime. I like it, could use a little kick. I would serve it over rice or pasta next time to soak up all that saucy goodness. Having no corn starch, I used rice starch.
     
  2. This was alright, lime is a new flavour for us so it might take some time getting used to, it was easy to make, I added zuchinni and caramelized onions
     
  3. Fantastic. I doubled the sauce part to top some pasta and it was great. I don't like mustard at all but it was simply amazing here. I will definitely mke this again.
     
  4. This was excellent. I don't normally like mustard, but the combination of lime juice and Dijon mustard was really good. I''ll most definitely make this one again. Thanks Crafty Chef for a great recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I absolutely love to cook and bake. I have a huge collection of recipes (that just keeps growing), as I really like to experiment with new flavors and ideas. Since smell and taste are the senses that are most strongly linked to memory, I like to collect recipes and cook/bake things that remind me of people in my life, times in my life, or places I've been. It makes me happy to reminisce while I'm enjoying the food I've made! I look forward to meeting new people here and exchanging ideas!
