- Mint Sauce for Lamb
-
Easter is coming up and Passover is next month, so you know meals featuring lamb aren't far off. I enjoy mint jelly with lamb, but this year I am going to try making my own mint sauce. Here's the recipe I plan to use. Feel free to share your ideas with me too!
Mint Sauce for Lamb
A bunch of fresh mint
Teaspoon sea salt
4 table spoons of red wine vinegar
1 table spoon fine, bakers sugar
4 table spoons of apple cider
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1. Strip the mint leaves and then crush and finely chop to release the flavor. The mint leaves have to be cut in really small pieces for this recipe to work. When done, place them in a bowl and pour half a cup of bowling water over them.
2. Add the sugar to the bowl and allow to cool for some time.
3. Drain the water and crush the leaves some more.
4. Add a little of the vinegar and apple cider at a time, seasoning to taste.
5. Do the same with the garlic and salt, adding as much as you like.
Mix well and chill. Some advice: the end result should look like a paste, not a bunch of wet mint leaves. Serve with roasted lamb or other lamb dishes.
