Minted Onion Rings

Submitted by Bobtail

"This is from my "Farm Journal Country Cookbook". I am posting this because I have seen many recipes calling for lamb and veal. It is recommended that this be served with either of these meats. I have also read where many members of Zaar grow their own herbs and seasonings. If you fall into either category, maybe you would like these. If you try this recipe, I hope you enjoy it!"

An excellent condiment--the liquid is a cross between a syrup and a sauce, the onions retain some crispness and the flavor is terrific. I can't wait to serve some of this with grilled lamb. Thanks, Bobtail!
