Corn, steak, pork chops and soups. A squeeze of fresh, tangy lime adds more than a little sparkle to these dishes. Cooking with lime (and citrus generally) adds vibrancy to dishes. Whether your lime recipe pairs lime with chilli to hit all the right spicy and sour notes found in Asian cooking, is used to lift the spiced flavour of jerk pork or Mexican-style dishes, or is zested and thrown into luscious lime desserts, these recipes using lime prove that the small green citrus can do it all.

Here are our best recipes with limes.
