Mint dishes are especially popular in Eastern cuisine. It's an excellent spice that suits a variety of products.
When we cook at home, we often use fresh mint leaves to garnish dishes. Mint is also used as a food coloring. However, fresh mint greens wilt quickly, so it's better to keep them in the refrigerator. During heat treatment, mint loses its freshness, so it should be added to hot dishes right before serving.
In industrial production, peppermint is used to obtain essential oil and menthol, which have a refreshing taste. These ingredients are used in the distillery industry to flavor various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It's added to
compotes
,
kissel
, syrups, and fruit drinks. Extraordinarily tasty and wholesome mint tea is especially popular.
When we cook at home, we use both fresh and dried mint leaves. Fresh mint is an excellent addition to poultry and lamb dishes. Dried crushed mint is used in making a variety of flour products and is especially popular in baking. Cooks add peppermint as a seasoning to various vegetables. Mint is used to improve the taste and aroma of a variety of sauces.
Peppermint is usually used as a standalone seasoning and isn't mixed with other spices. The dosage of this spice — and not only this one, but others too — should be minimal. On average, the amount of fresh mint per serving should be no more than five grams.
Dried mint
— even less, up to 0.5 grams. Add mint to dishes a few minutes before they're done.
