Ingredients

Preparing Traditional British Mint Sauce

Collect your ingredients. You will need the following: 1 bunch of fresh mint A pinch of salt 4 tablespoons boiling water 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar 1 level tablespoon caster sugar

Prepare your fresh mint. You will need to wash it and chop it. Wash your bunch of fresh mint under cold water. Remove any dirt or debris. Strip the mint leaves off of the stems. Discard the stems. Using a sharp knife, finely chop the mint leaves.

Put the chopped mint into a glass jar. You will mix the ingredients in the jar. Add the sugar. Pour the boiling water over the mint and sugar. Leave the mixture to cool.

Add the vinegar to the jar. You should do this once the mixture is cool. Stir the mixture. Taste the sauce to see if it needs to be sweeter or more acidic. If the sauce needs to be sweeter, add more sugar to taste. If you think the sauce needs a more acidic taste, add a small amount of vinegar. Store the sauce in the refrigerator and serve with lamb.

Place all of the ingredients in a blender. For this dish, the preparation is very simple. Blend all of the ingredients together. Pulse the blender for best results. As you work, pause occasionally to open the blender and scrape the sides. This will make sure all of the ingredients are mixed evenly.

Put the mixture in a jar. This can be stored in a refrigerator. Serve it with tikkas, kebabs, and papadums. Other fried Indian snacks such as pakoras and samosas also go well with this sauce. This sauce will keep for several weeks when refrigerated.
