MINT
- Мята
MINT May be used fresh in salads, fruit beverages, jellies, conserves, ices, iced tea, sauces for meats, and added minced to carrots and peas. Good with apple combinations
1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dried
Mint is used throughout the world to flavor everything from lamb to candy. It's also a great garnish and breath freshener.
Spearmint is the variety you're most likely to encounter in markets, and it's the best choice for savory dishes.
Peppermint = brandy mint has a stronger flavor and is best suited to dessert recipes.
Used dried mint only in a pinch--it's not nearly as flavorful as fresh.
Substitutes: fresh parsley + pinch of dried mint OR basil (especially in Thai cuisine) OR shiso |
