Yogurt With Fresh Mint Recipes

YOGURT WITH FRESH MINT

ORGANIC LAMB BURGER WITH FRESH MINT YOGURT AND QUINOA

Steps:

• Rinse the quinoa in a large fine mesh strainer with cold water, then transfer to a small saucepan. Cover with 2 cups cold water, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and let cool before mixing into the lamb.
• Mix together the quinoa, lamb, cumin, cayenne, garlic, egg, onions and some salt in a large bowl until the mixture comes together and is smooth. Form the mixture into 4 balls, flatten down into patties and place on baking sheets.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan over high heat for 1 minute, and then add the oil. Cook the patties until browned, 3 minutes per side, and then cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Mix together the yogurt and mint in a separate bowl and season with salt.
• To plate the dish, place the lamb burger over your favorite salad or I recommend a fresh tomato puree. Top each with a dollop of the mint yogurt and serve.

FRESH MINT, LEMON & YOGHURT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the sugar and 2 cups (500ml) of cold water in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stop stirring, then increase the heat to medium-high and bring the syrup to the boil.
• Return the heat to medium and simmer for 12 minutes, occasionally using a brush dipped in cold water to brush down the sides of the pan and to remove any sugar crystals (they are otherwise likely to make the syrup cloudy).
• Remove from the heat and leave to cool, then pour the mixture into a container and chill.
• Place the chilled syrup in a blender with mint and lemon juice. Blend at a high speed until the mint is very finely chopped.
• Place the yoghurt in a large bowl and whisk well until it is smooth, then fold in the whipped cream. Add the syrup and whisk to combine.
• If you have an ice cream maker, churn the mixture in it. Otherwise, pour it into a large, stainless-steel bowl and freeze for about 3 hours or until frozen 5cm (2 inches) from the edge.
• Remove the bowl from the freezer and use a whisk or hand-held beaters to give the ice cream a really good whisk, breaking up ice crystals and smoothing it out.
• Repeat these freezing and whisking steps once more. (For an even smoother texture, repeat these steps a few more times).
• Pack the ice cream into a container, cover it tightly and freeze it at least overnight or until it is firm.
• Serve the ice cream with extra mint.
