Using lime glaze when cooking meat can provide several advantages. Lime juice adds a bright, tangy flavour that can help to enhance the overall taste of the meat dish. The acidity in lime juice can also help to tenderize tougher cuts of meat, making them more enjoyable to eat. Additionally, the citrus notes in lime can help to cut through the richness of fatty meats, balancing out the flavours in the dish. Lime can also add a refreshing and zesty element to the meat, making it a popular choice for marinades, dressings, or sauces to accompany grilled or roasted meats. Overall, incorporating lime glaze into your meat dishes can elevate the flavour profile and add a unique twist to your cooking.
How to use a Glaze:
When cooking meat, either on the BBQ, in an oven or a smoker, generously pour glaze over uncooked meat in a dish and with clean hands, turn the meat over to ensure that it is liberally coated on all sides.
For the oven and smoker, cover the meat and cook following the usual cooking instructions. Uncover for the last quarter of the cooking time to allow the sauce to reduce and the sweet stickiness to develop. Re-coat now to personal preference, if required.
On the Barbecue, just cook on the plate or over the grill. The glaze will darken and look burned but that’s okay – and awesome. If making kebabs, thread the meat (and vegetables) through the skewer and brush the glaze over with a pastry brush, then pop them straight on the barbie! Perfect glaze for fish or prawns, just pour over seafood and grill, sensational for Summer.
