I sat down for dinner at 11 the other day to a meager meal of rice and yellow lentils, and an incompleteness weighed down on me. What was it? Then with the corner of my eye I spotted the shy glass jar hidden behind the cutlery holder at the far end of the table, the jar of spicy lime pickle. As I bathed (okay that's an exaggeration) my humble dinner with its contents and took a bite, I could taste salvation. The pungency of the mustard oil came together beautifully with the acidity of the lime, and my! I'm sorry but I can't talk anymore, I'm salivating already.
There is nothing I can think of that this pickle can't transport to culinary heaven, but just for heck's sake I've landed on lamb cutlets. Served with pita bread and this amazing cucumber salad (the recipe for which I have shamelessly plagiarized from someone somewhere but nobody cares because it is so darn good), I reckon this could be one of the best entrees for an al fresco lunch.

Lime pickle lamb
cutlets with cucumber pomegranate pistachio yogurt salad
Blend together
(lime pickle + salt + mustard + honey) to make marinade. Rub lamb cutlets with
it and grill until just blushing inside. Smash cucumbers with a rolling pin and
dress in (yogurt + salt + pepper + pomegranate molasses). Scatter over (toasted
pistachios + pomegranate seeds + mint).
Adios!
Cucumber salad with yoghurt might be a bit narrow approach as many dont have yoghurt. Cream would be a better option i suppose. Well done
