Mint sauce is known for its fragrant, tangy yet sweet flavor profile, derived from finely chopped mint leaves, vinegar, and sugar. Its vibrant green color is a delight to the eye and it's usually served in a small jug or gravy boat. Typically, it's a quintessential British accompaniment to roasted lamb, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the rich meat flavor.
However, mint sauce isn't confined to Sunday Roasts. It can be delightfully versatile and used creatively in diverse dishes. Try drizzling it on new potatoes, pea soup or even mixed into yogurt for a cooling dip – mint sauce never fails to add a fresh and herbsy dimension to dishes.
