[The Late Night Gourmet]

Falafel Patties. This challenge is putting me in a distinctly Middle Eastern mood. Thank you for that, @Yorky!

These look great. I still haven't mastered home-made falafel.

Oh yes! Oh yes. Mint Julep next please.

One of my main uses of mint is simply to put several good thick stems of peppermint into boiling water and leave to steep for 10-15 minutes. Sweeten to taste of needed.
I give you peppermint tea!

Summer Squash Curry with Mint:

 

[Yorky]

I may as well just add my mint sauce.....

• 2 handfuls mint leaves
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
• 100 ml distilled vinegar

Put all the ingredients into a blender or food processor.

Blend for around 10 seconds.

Pour into a sealable jar and refrigerate for at least 2 days.

Mint sauce brings back memories of Sunday lunch. I remember learning about the accompaniments for each meat. On a lamb day I would run into the garden and pick mint then make the sauce using an old fashioned herb mincer.


Edited to add: Ive googled and the herb mincer is called a mouli parsmint.

mouli parsmint.

That is so quaint! 'Parsimint' seems to be an elision of parsley and mint...

One new recipe for me suggested by @morning glory . A very fresh, tasty relish. Apple and mint chutney: https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/green-apple-mint-chutney.10948/

And a favourite in my house. Also very fresh and excellent on a hot day.
