Mint Recipes..

Hi everyone,

We planted mint in our garden, and it has exploded!
Has anyone any recipes that I can use it for? Ice cream, maybe? Or some dinners that I can include it in.

Or is threre a way I can store it after harvesting?

thanks in advance!

My recipe in the 2012 cooking club (Green Chilli with Navajo Flatbreads) uses fresh mint

You could also make mojitos some evening. Or see if you can find a good recipe for mint sauce (as in, for lamb) online, that'd be a great way to use it up.

You can freeze individual leaves in water in ice cube trays, then lob them into bags once frozen.

Aldi have fresh lamb legs on special this Thursday, I'm going to get one and hope to God it's dry enough on Saturday or Sunday to light the barbie one more time (don't care how cold it is, we'll eat indoors). I'll butterfly the leg and rub it in a paste made of olive oil, garlic, coarse salt, black pepper, lemon zest fresh mint and rosemary, then whack it on the barbie and servie with grilled potatoes and a monster salad. Heaven!

I've also made this recipe a good few times, and the sauce is really, really good.

Mojito cocktails!

Tin of chickpeas, drained
Halved cherry tomatoes
Diced red onion
Diced feta cheese

Mix together and dress with lemon juice, salt, pepper and loads of chopped mint. It's gorgeous and very healthy.
