Apple and mint sauce

Apple and mint sauce is a refreshing and versatile condiment that adds a burst of flavor to a variety of dishes. This recipe is simple to make using a handful of ingredients including fresh apples and aromatic spearmint. Perfect to accompany meats, particularly pork, or to serve as a unique addition to your dessert repertoire.

Ingredients:

4 apples
640g
3/4 cup white wine
170g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
2 tbsp parsley
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Start by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Apples:
- Place the diced apples in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Pour the white wine over the apples and sprinkle in the sugar.
3. Simmering:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
4. Cooking Time:
- Continue to cook the apples for about 15-20 minutes or until they are soft and tender. You can slightly press the apples with the back of a spoon to help them break down.
5. Adding Spearmint:
- Once the apples have softened, add the finely chopped spearmint to the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute the spearmint.
6. Blending (Optional):
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan or transfer the mixture to a standard blender to puree until smooth.
7. Final Simmer:
- After blending, return the sauce to the saucepan (if applicable) and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Cooling:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
9. Serving:
- Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. The apple and mint sauce can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
- This sauce pairs wonderfully with roast meats, especially pork, or can be used as a condiment for other dishes.
10. Storing:
- Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips:

- Choose crisp and slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor.

- If you prefer a sweeter sauce, adjust the sugar quantity to taste.

- For a smoother texture, blend the sauce to your desired consistency.

- Allow the sauce to sit for a while after cooking to let the flavors meld together.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and use them within a week.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can create a delightful apple and mint sauce that is sure to impress. Whether you’re serving it with a savory dish or exploring new desserts, this sauce is a wonderful way to elevate your culinary creations.
