Recipes with Lime
7 recipes
There are 7 recipes here that use Lime, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Fried Fish with Fresh Chili Salsa at 25 minutes; the longest, Clear Chicken Soto, takes 55.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 5 are properly spicy.
Lime turns up most often alongside Turmeric, Bird's eye chili, Red chili and Tomato — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.

Fried Fish with Fresh Chili Salsa
The sambal is raw — just sliced and hit with hot oil. Five minutes, and far fresher for it.

Fried Catfish with Shrimp Paste Sambal
The sambal is pounded, not blended. It comes out coarse, and that is exactly right.

Mackerel in Yellow Sour Sauce
Yellow, sour, and fresh. The fish is fried first so it does not fall apart in the sauce.

Grilled Mackerel in Sweet Soy
Cooked in a pan, not over coals. The soy glaze goes on in the last five minutes so it never burns.
