Fresh mint is so great to have around. What variety of mint is it?
I know it as orange mint π (Mentha spicata orange) is super citrusy..
Do you have any good recipes for using mint? Itβs not common where Iβm currently living, but had it in the garden when I was growing up. All I can think of is lamb.
Oooh I love cooking with mint. It's great with lamb, but it works with so many kinds of dishes!
Here are some ideas:
Mash it up and add it to some lemon juice, super refreshing summertime drink.
Tabouleh is a very simple salad that includes mint, this is a goto of mine, works as a side dish with just about anything and is a great way to use up your herbs (if you're growing mint, you know what I mean, it can quickly get out of control)
Add some mint to your pesto for a fresh take.
Sprinkle some mint on roasted green beans.
Watermelon chunks with feta and chopped mint. Soo good. Might freak you out, doesn't make sense to the typical American palate, but it's amazing.
Thanks. Those all sound awesome!
I tried it in food but it seems to me that the strong point is to use it in infusions, hot water + about 4 leaves and you get a tea that you take half a cup and you can drool on your pillow from sleep. and in food: for sauces, it elevates them.
Ooh sounds interesting. Iβll have to see if I can get my hands on some. Thanks for the reply!
good luck in your search, PS: seeds are easier to find.
