  1. Wonderful & refreshing! Great side for marinated grilled strips of lamb on skewers! Did add 1/2 cup or so of minced scallions. Plan to serve this as a side for some firey hot BBQ'd shrimp soon since we are apparently not going to get any winter here & the mint is growing crazy. TY for a surprisingly fine keeper! Will add Thai basil to it in the real spring once the basil is up & growing.
     
  2. Great base recipe. LOVE the mint here. The dish as is seems a little sweet to me. Garlic and onion of some sort would really balance that nicely. This would be really nice with some added veggies too. Thanks for a really different recipe! Made for Newest Tag!

I'm lucky to have had two amazing grandmothers with a passion for cooking.My Nona was from the north of Italy and Lolo was from Spain. Lolo used to make pickle fish. You would think that is a kids worst nightmare, but it was fabulous. I would kill for that recipe.My mother was also a wonderful cook. I grew up eating the most amazing food; her lasagna and Bolognese sauce are out of this world. I am originally from Argentina and living in Colorado for the past 25 years. As you can imagine, I love to cook, eat and entertain. I read cookbooks like novels. There is nothing that I enjoy more than traveling. I love the challenge of a new culture and a foreign language. Of course all my traveling is culinary oriented. Eventually I would love to move to Italy. Italians, in my opinion, have the perfect life style; Hard work in the morning, good food for lunch, nice siesta and out for a "giro" (go for a round) in the afternoons to visit with your friends over a cup of coffee. My daughter is a great baker; she has a natural talent for it. We can make the exact same recipe and hers ALWAYS tastes much better. My favorite products are seasonal, organic and fresh; I stay away from cans and pre-mixed stuff. I'm a proud member of the Slow Food movement. www.slowfood.com
