Lime, Ginger Bites, an ayurveda style appetizer
a simple 4-ingredient recipe to boost the digestive fire, stimulate hunger and support the digestive process that can be enjoyed up to 30-minutes prior to a meal
PREP TIME 10 minutes
COOK TIME 0 minutes
TOTAL TIME 10 minutes
SERVINGS 6 bites or so
ingredients
- 1 lime sliced thin & quartered
- 1 tbsp ginger fresh, peeled, grated
- Himalayan pink salt pinch
optional
- black pepper tiny pinch
- fresh cilantro chopped
instructions
-
using a Microplane, grate about a 2inch peeled know of ginger, and mix it with a pinch of salt and pepper (optional), set aside. ginger can also be finely minced, this creates less "juice"
-
cut the lime into quarters then thinly slice it, like you would an orange, but thinner and not too thin. It needs to hold the weight of the ginger if serving it as a lime "cracker". arrange them on a plate, and add a small pinch about 1/8 tsp of the ginger and salt mixture, per lime slice.
-
sprinkle with fresh, chopped cilantro, if desired and serve.
recipe notes
- each bite can be enjoyed with or without the peel, the peel adds a touch of bitter-- keep the peel on if you want to serve it like a lime "cracker", or finger food
- the juice of the lime can also be sprinkled on the ginger, and salt, mixed and eaten as is without creating lime "crackers". this mixture will stay well in the fridge for about 3 days.
- feel free to adjust salt and lime to taste.. and black pepper is optional and not needed, but it does give a little extra boost and adds a nice flavor.
