The traditional English sauce served alongside grilled lamb, mint vinegar sauce is made by pounding fresh mint with salt and blending it with apple vinegar, then letting it rest. Its plain, no-added-sugar formula cuts through the richness of grilled meat.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Pound the mint

8 min

Pound the fresh mint leaves with the salt in a mortar, or crush them with the flat of a knife, until you get a dark green paste.

2

Blend with vinegar

3 min

Stir the hot water into the pounded mint, then slowly whisk in the apple vinegar.

3

Rest the sauce

45 min

Let the mixture rest at room temperature for at least 45 minutes so the flavors meld, then stir once before serving.

Reminder

Don't skip pounding the mint with salt; this step breaks down the leaves' cell walls so the flavor releases into the vinegar much faster. This recipe does not contain a known allergen group.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If the sauce tastes too sharp, balance it with a few tablespoons of hot water; diluting it this way, rather than cutting back on the vinegar, keeps the mint flavor dominant.
