James Martin makes Thai crab risotto with lemongrass and kaffir lime on James Martin: Home Comforts Meals for One.

Kaffir lime leaves come from the Kaffir lime tree, a lime tree native to Indonesia. The leaves are highly aromatic and suitable for Asian cuisines. They are easily recognisable by their emerald-green, double leaf lobes, which makes them appear as if two leaves are joined together.

James says: “Making your own crab oil and stock may seem like a lot of work but the results speak for themselves.”

James makes his dish using chicken stock to prevent the meal from becoming too fishy.
