Cook With M&S Mint
Use this fresh mint to whip up a mint sauce or beetroot and mint dip. Wash
before use and store in the fridge for freshness.
"I feel that mint is such an underused herb. It has a life way beyond an
accompaniment to lamb, new potatoes or peas, or a garnish for a dessert. Finely
chopped (and always at the last minute) it can transform a tomato salad, makes a
cucumber salad sing and, indeed, can make a plain green salad extra-refreshing.
I love it, too, with fish: I often sprinkle finely chopped mint, along with
parsley and toasted pine nuts, over light white fish before serving, or mix it
with lemon or orange zest and a pinch of chilli flakes over mackerel. And one of
my regular quick solo suppers is griddled halloumi with a poached or peeled
soft-boiled egg on top along with a scattering of fresh mint. And it really
comes into its own with bold, fierce flavours – spicy soups, boisterous curries,
zingy noodles dishes – especially when combined with freshly chopped coriander
or dill, to be sprinkled over just before serving."
