Where to find ingredients
Fresh mint, high-quality olive oil, and citrus are available at local supermarkets or wet markets throughout Singapore. As a substitute for fresh mint, you may use dried mint, though the flavor profile will differ significantly from the original.
Preparation method
- Finely chop the mint leaves using a sharp knife.
- Avoid using a blender or food processor to prevent altering the herb's flavor.
- Drizzle the lemon juice or vinegar over the chopped mint.
- Gradually incorporate the olive oil.
- Use a wire whisk or a fork to mix vigorously until you achieve a creamy texture.
- Finish by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Observations
This sauce is an excellent accompaniment to roast meats or salads. The secret to maintaining the herb's freshness lies in preparing it by hand, which preserves both the ideal texture and aroma.
