Kaffir lime leaves

Location: Southeast Madagascar

Botanical classification: Citrus hystrix

This citrus fruit is used in many sweet and savory dishes. It deliciously enhances chocolate mousses, is used in many cocktails (especially punches), marinades, and sauces (curries), and will add its aroma to the water when cooking rice. Be careful with the amount, however, as it tends to quickly overpower a dish.

Agreements:

Its zest can be used with a grater to enhance stuffings, curries, and pastries. The leaves can be eaten chopped in salads or whole in cooking.
