I often make my lemon yoghurt cake and use limes which makes a lovely cake. You could also do a lime meringue pie. Are you wanting sweet ideas or more of a main meal type recipe?
Lime Pie is the best! ! ! ! Take 4 limes, grate off the rind and then juice them. Put 1 pottle (275ml or so) of fresh cream, 1 tin of condensed milk and the juice and rind in a bowl and stir up (no need to whip or anything). Make a biscuit crumb crust, pour over the lime slosh. Refridgerate for at least 6hrs, overnight is best. Some kind of chemical reaction between the lime juice and hte cream makes it set. for a quick crumb crust just whizz one packet of plain biscuits and stir in about 200g melted butter.
