MINT SAUCE

I grew up with this in the UK, and this is how everyone made it. I would be surprised if any pub had additional ingredients. Mint has a sweetness of its own, but a little sugar would be okay, if the diner had a desire for extra sweetness - no more that 1/2 teaspoon. Cider or malt vinegar can be used for the vinegar if you prefer. This sauce is traditionally served with lamb.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Chop the mint leaves finely. This will help them to release their flavor more easily.
  • Use a mortar and pestle to grind the mint leaves and sugar together. This will help to release the oils in the mint and create a smoother sauce.
  • If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a food processor or blender to chop the mint leaves and sugar together. Just be careful not to over-process the mixture, or it will become too smooth.
  • Add the vinegar and water to the mint and sugar mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sugar or vinegar, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the mint sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Mint sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is especially popular with Indian cuisine, but it can also be used with grilled meats, fish, and vegetables. Mint sauce is also a great way to add a refreshing touch to salads and yogurt-based dishes. With its bright, herbaceous flavor, mint sauce is a surefire way to liven up any meal.
