mint plant

just noticed i have loads of mint growing in my garden just wondered how to make mint sauce or what else can i do with it

[boris b 1]

chop up finely , mix with vinegar and a tea spoon of sugar and you have mint sauce . add it to your spuds when you cook them .

You B*stards! I just drooled all over my key board as soon as I read that! 'Roast spuds and mint sauce'? I'll likely never get to eat that again for as long as I live! No handy " Iceland " shops out here on the bog

Were the roast's you were drooling over cooked in lamb fat dripping ?

It will start to die back if we get a winter this year so cut and dry some then just make with a bit of boiling water to extract the flavour then add vinegar and sugar.

Makes a tasty cup of tea too

Mint tea like the tourages from the north African deserts make couple of spoons of tea in a pot, stuffed with mint 2 hand fulls, sweeten with 4-6 spoons of sugar poured from a great height to get a head on it very refreshing on a hot hot day.

Can't beat it on a hot day no hang over after.

Ditchy, why do you need Iceland for roasters with mint sauce

MOLL.

if your going to grow your own mint plants plant them in a big plant pots first and not into bear soil as they will over run your land in no time ....john

I love mint i have several flavoures in the garden , pineapple mint , apple mint & spearmint , just chop it up & wang it on the food

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Moll; I'd need Iceland because that's the only place I know where I could get a bag of roast spuds, ready frozen, which I could then put in my micro wave.

 

I've expanded my cooking facilities now. I now have my pokey little micro'. My grill (the micro blew up years ago, but the quartz grill in that one's still going) and now I have my beloved Slow Cooker

 

So, 'Chillie al a Ditch' proved a run away success I can barely begin to imagine what other gastronomic heaven will emerge from that wonderful thing ~ and really must find time to search Google for ideas! ~ but roasting is, I'm afraid, beyond me here.

 

I can't complain though. I never thought I'd ever get to eat a quality chillie again; And, by god That f*cker hit the mark!
