I am having a 'meat free' month and have lots of packets of the AP food mint marinade.
Does anyone know what I can make using the marinade without using meat ???.
I really have no idea but am sure someone on here will know what to do with it ;)

    Hi Lilaclillie:hello:

    Could you use it as a mint sauce in potato salad? Could you use it the same way you would mint sauce? Oh, like the ideas in there actually!

    um, maybe something with pea's? peas and mint go fantastic.

    mint and pea soup.

    sorry clutching at straws a bit i think. why not wait till you are having meat and enjoy it with a nice bit of lamb.

    If you can get some halloumi cheese then it would probably be good on halloumi and veg kebabs - halloumi has mint in it anyway, I think, so I imagine the flavour would work. I would add that halloumi kebabs are even nicer cooked on the BBQ, but that's probably a bit over-hopeful at this time of year! :)
    Back after a very long break!

    Use it to make a salad dressing? I accidentally put mint sauce on my salad once and it was gorgeous!

    If it is in packets and near the use-by date, then why not freeze it until you are going to have some lamb?
    Mix it in with couscous for a salad type meal (add veggies of your choice.)

    Perhaps mix it with some chopped fresh tomatoes, red peppers and red onion to make a minty salsa.

    Or mix with some chunky vegetables and roast in the oven?

    CCP - halloumi idea sounds great
