About

This dish is full of what is good to eat and good for you. All parts of the lime – juice, rind and leaves – are used in the Caribbean for ailments such as colds and flu, and the angostura bitters remind me of bitter aloes. In the past, I’ve tended to use angostura bitters in cakes, but it is also excellent in this savoury dish.
