yeah im gonna try to do a variation of that, the mint kind of puts me off tbh... i dont use it in my cooking much and the smell of mint sauce makes me ILL.... i do put it in juices or a bottle of water....

I too hate mint sauce or the smell of mint really cooked into something or the smell of dried mint, I get your fear.
But nice, fresh mint stirred into a dish just before serving can be fantastic

Mint and corriander with lime zest and chilli added to an Asian style beef stew at the end.........heaven!

Mint and flat leaf parsley with onion, salt and lemon juice........with slow roast lamb.........rarrrrr!

I'm getting off the thread here......

Someones got style. nothing like a big steaming fragrant pile of mussels to pick on when the beers flowing. relaxed food, as it shoul be.

The night this was done, a mate of my chef was just home from the states for a hollier. works in a fine wine store in the states, and obviously brought a few "perfectly legal" samples with him. bottles of 1.5k wine, simple and savage mussel dish, happy days.

Shame on you for not liking mint!:p

if your not keen on mint, flat parsley is good too. or a mixture of dill, chervil, and chive. use it under a piece of fish like hallibut......

Sweat it off with the onions, when making lasagne;)

I was at a restaurant recently and they had a new potato, spring onion and chorizo crush for want of a better word.

It was amazing. It looks like they par boiled the new potatos (cut up into small chunks) and then fried them in olive oil with the chorizo and then added the spring onions at the end.

I tried it but my potatos became very mushy and it was not crispy and yummy like the restaurants. Do you think they baked the potatos instead?

If we figure this out it is a YUMMY way of cooking chorizo.

A dish like that is called hash, fyi.
