Roasted Lime Relish

Roasted Lime Relish: A chopped accompaniment with distinct small pieces, balanced with acidity and seasoning. Unlike a smooth sauce, its texture remains visible; add it sparingly so it complements each bite.

Context

Separate juice, colored zest and white pith according to the preparation. Zest carries aroma, juice provides acidity, and too much pith or aggressive charring brings bitterness.

Example

A menu could use this preparation as a small textured accompaniment to a cooked main course. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.

How THT uses it

At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
