Product reviews...
This was surprisingly versatile. With a zingy lime flavour, enhanced with a twist of lemongrass, this gives a decidedly Asian style flavour to any dish. I found this was quite nice when drizzled over freshly stir-fried veges and gave them a really nice fresh 'crisp' flavour that complemented their natural taste without drowning it out. Taking the idea in a slightly different direction, I did up some beef-&-vege stir-fry as I normally would, then served it on steamed rice with a little butter and a sprinkle of this stirred through it.
What I also found worked well was making a Potato Salad dressing with it - some Lite Mayo, freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, a hefty splash of this, and a dash of malt vinegar. Stirred through freshly cooked diced potato, some steamed mixed veges, freshly chopped red onion and spring onion, and a bit of grated carrot. Turned out quite tasty! Might not be everyone's cuppa tea though - we all have our own flavour preferences after all.
Overall, an excellent condiment that I plan to keep around! SO handy... I can imagine a few Summer iced cocktails that would be enhanced with a splash of this too... being lime based it's just so versatile!
I believe it's pretty safe to say that this may very well have become my new "go to" condiment. In a very short time I've found it's uses seem virtually unlimited. The taste is subtle but delicious, I actually struggle to describe it accurately!
So far I've used it drizzled over whitebait fritters (for the love of .... whatever, just don't tell my father in law, you have no idea what it took to sneak it on!) and it gave it a nice lift! We also drizzled it over a whole chicken before putting it in the roaster, it came up moist with a delicious extra "something" add to it but without taking away from the flavour of the roast chicken. I've also used this sprinkled over lemon and lime polenta cake in place of lime juice, as the cake disappeared fairly rapidly I think it would be safe to say it was a hit!
For my fellow health conscious, calorie scrutinising peeps, this is very low in calories (almost non-existent actually) so it is perfect for adding flavour to almost anything you're cooking or making. I've also enjoyed this lightly sprinkled over salads for that extra bit of flavour.
This is another St Andrews Limes product that will be a regular in my kitchen, with so many uses and so perfectly suited to me how could I not?
