ingredients

Fragrant leaves of the Kaffir lime tree used in Thailand and throughout South East Asia gives the distinctive 'citrus perfume' flavour to many dishes. Found in Asian grocers and some supermarkets in fresh, frozen and dry, fresh leaves are the best but not always attainable. Used in soups, salads, curries and some desserts, leaves are finely shredded, torn or placed whole into dishes for flavour.
