Lime Pepper
There is this great seasoning that is on a lot of food in the Cayman. It's called
Lime Pepper.I've bought it in the store here but it's never as good as what I get a local restaurants in the area. At first I thought it was just my cooking, but as it turns out Lime Pepper is something you need to make yourself.
Here is the recipe I used:
1. Cut the zest from one lime and one lemon
2. Place it on a cookie sheet at 150 degrees for at least 24 hours
3. Break it into small pieces and then crush it in a spice grinder
4. Place 2 teaspoons of the dried lime zest and 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest in a mortar
5. Add 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
6. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt
7. Use the pestle to mash everything together until you have a well-mixed powder
This seasoning is really terrific. I made a big batch of it to use on chicken, fish and salads.
