Dry the cooled limes with a clean tea towel. If your shop-bought limes have a wax coating, it should melt off and stay behind in the pot with the hot brine. But I like to give the blanched limes a good rub with the tea towel to get off any residue. Step 4: Fill the rest of the cup with boiling water and sweeten with your favorite sweetener. 🩺 Noomi Basra BenefitsMany of the cuisines of the Middle East were, at one point, used almost exclusively for holistic purposes. We regard citrus, for example, as a detoxifier and promoter of healthy digestion. We also cook with preservation in mind. The brining and drying of Persian limes began as a preservation technique—it was not a modernist’s ploy to discover flavor, but rather a humble person’s approach to creating longevity from the spoils of their harvest. I think some of the greatest cuisine comes out of the resilience to preserve. It speaks to the human condition, that arguably some of the most delicious outcomes are often through resourcefulness and not abundance. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, two tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper, then pour over the vegetables and toss well to combine.

Stir in spices. Add drained beans, some salt, water and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for half hour. Fenugreek is anessential herb for this stew, and like most recipes that use it,the dish tastes even better the next day. In Persian, Fenugreek is known as Shanbalileh. But it is widely used in Indian cooking, so it is available as fresh, frozen or dried at Indian stores.

Once the water is boiling and your ice bath is ready, add the limes to the boiling water for 60 to 90 seconds. Do not exceed 90 seconds. Immediately chill to stop the cooking process Add to soups when cooking, or – even better – freshen soups and stews with a light dusting of ground dried citrus before serving The very pretty slices are great for drinks and decoration, but for them to be really versatile I needed them to be in a different form – so I whizzed up a handful in my food processor.

My favorite way to enjoy them is in Noomi Basra Chai (Lime-Infused Tea).
