Vegetarian Recipes Using Black Limes

Slofoodgroup Team agosto 02, 2023

Gourmeh sabzi is a classic Persian herb stew that typically contains lamb or beef, but even without the meat, it is extremely hearty and protein-packed (it has loads of kidney beans). This is a great recipe; just omit the beef and use vegetable broth in place of beef broth. Khoresh Gheymeh also incorporates that tart citrus flavor of dried limes into a hearty Persian stew, this time with split peas, potatoes, and meat. We recommend turning this dish vegetarian by swapping the meat with your favorite meat replacement or omitting it altogether.

Black Lime Sauce with Mushroom Tacos

As you can see, black limes are quite common in Persian stews, but what about some of the less classic vegetarian uses for black limes? Black limes come across as much more tart and earthy than their fresh counterpart, but are a great way to add depth of flavor to dishes that traditionally call for lemons, limes, or even kumquats.
