Today s featured herb is: MINT

The word originates from the Latin menta and the Greek minthe. In Greek mythology, Minthe was a beautiful water nymph who was pursued by Pluto, the god of the underworld. When Persophone, Pluto s wife, found out she went a bit ...... ahem ..... MENTHOL....... and turned her into a plant! Poor old Pluto was reminded of his dalliance whenever he trod on the plant and smelled its beautiful fragrance. There are hundreds of varieties of this anti-septic herb and it s popular in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking where it is used in salads, teas, chutneys and relis hes. Here in Britain we associate mint sauce with roast lamb. However why not try it in this week s simple recipe overleaf?
