I have just bought a living mint plant. Can anyone give me a recipe for mint sauce.?
Give up that nasty mint jelly and go with the real traditional mint sauce. Homemade mint sauce is quite simple to make with just a few ingredients. It is a must with roast lamb, but also goes well with other meats. INGREDIENTS: * 3 large handfuls of mint leaves, (stems previously removed) * 3 teaspoons granulated sugar * 4 Tablespoons wine vinegar PREPARATION: Wash and shake the mint leaves, sprinkle then with the sugar and chop them rather finely. Put in a bowl. Heat the vinegar and pour it over the mint. Add more sugar if you think the sauce is too sharp. Serve hot or cold with roasted lamb or other meats. Alternatives: Use lemon juice instead of vinegar and you can also add a little olive oil. This is not traditional mint sauce, being much less violent in flavor, but it is exceptionally good. Yield: 4 servings ~ ~ ~ Its okay to re-pot your mint plant. Re-potting mint plants each year is needed to make it healthy. 🙂 I added some info about re-potting and a site where theres some tip
