    Recipes using mint

    I have a bunch of mint that I used to make rice paper rolls (v yummy), but I only used a little bit.

    Hate to see food go to waste- what else can I use mint in/for?

    2 limes
    2 chillies, halved, deseeded, finely chopped
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    60ml (1/4 cup) light olive oil
    1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
    1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

    whizz it all in a blender and marinate chicken skewers then BBQ

    serve with tzatziki or greek yoghurt as a dip

    or how about berry and mint sorbet

    1/2 cup caster sugar
    1 1/2 cups water
    3/4 mixed berrries
    1/2 cup mint chopped

    disolve sugar in water over heat. bring to boil, add berries and cook for couple minutes till soft.
    remove heat and add mint and let cool completly. once cool strain through a sieve to remove berry seeds etc, pour into container and freeze overnight.

    greek yoghurt, lemon juice, crushed garlic, chopped cucumber and mint leaves make a great tzatziki for grilled meats!

    new potatoes (pink eyes) with butter and mint yummo!
