• 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

• Zest of 1 lime
• Juice of 2 limes

Method

First

Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend to make a smooth and very pungent paste (seriously, your neighbours will be asking what’s for dinner…)

Second

Use the paste as a powerful and distinctive rub and seasoning for barbecued chicken, pork, or fish. It will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks if covered, and you and your mates won’t be able to get enough of it!

Wine Match

This dish and a supple Nero d'Avola would make an interesting pairing. Crack open a bottle of the Sherrah Nero d'Avola 2017 while devouring this dish for a winning match!
