Fresh Mint Recipes: 20 Recipes To Brighten Up Your Plate (Huffington post)

Nothing says spring quite like fresh mint. Its flavor embodies everything of
this blooming season -- light, fresh and bright. Its light green color is a
welcome addition to our plates, especially after all the months we've spent
looking at winter produce. Mint goes very well in lemonades, teas and
cocktails, but we also really like cooking with this fresh herb.

Throwing fresh mint into a salad will liven up the flavors, and adding it to a
pasta can make the dish feel much, much fresher. But the best part is, it's
absolutely delicious. And we just can't get enough of it; we're always looking
for ways to throw it into whatever meal we can think of. If you're ready to
enjoy the fresh flavors of this herb, click through the slideshow below for
some culinary inspiration. From Orecchiette with Pancetta, Peas and Mint to a
simple Spring Peas with Mint recipe, there's a recipe for every mint lover.

Thai coconut and mint dish?

My husband wants me to make a Thai dish that has Coconut and mint - he thought it was shrimp or chicken. Anyone have an idea what this dish is or have a recipe? Many Thanks!!

Versions of red curry abound in Thailand, but most are flavored with a paste of red chiles, garlic, shallots, galangal (similar to ginger), and shrimp paste, and have coconut milk as their base. Light coconut milk works well in this stew, and prepared Thai red curry paste, found in most supermarkets, makes it a snap to put together. Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes. Notes: The spice level in prepared red curry pastes varies depending on the brand, so taste before using. Start with 2 tbsp., then increase it if you like. For a more authentic flavor, add 1 tbsp. minced lemon grass and 2 makrut (Kaffir) lime leaves instead of the grated lime zest in step 4, and use Thai basil instead of regular. Find these ingredients at Asian markets and in specialty-produce departments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients
3 cups jasmine rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large sweet potato (often labeled â????yamâ????)
2 cans (13 1/2 oz. each) light coconut milk, divided
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste (see Notes)
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest (green part only; see Notes)
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds firm fish fillets, such as halibut or tilapia
6 ounces fresh whole spinach leaves
1 cup loosely packed basil
1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
Lime wedges

Preparation
1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and salt. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 15 minutes, then turn off heat and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
2. Meanwhile, bring 1 in. of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Peel sweet potato and cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Put in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

3. While sweet potato is cooking, spoon about 1/4 cup from top of coconut milk in each can (the thick opaque layer) and put in a 4- to 5-qt. pot or deep sauté pan. Add curry paste and whisk until smoothly blended. Stir mixture over medium heat until nearly dry, 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining coconut milk, lime zest, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer 5 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, cut fish into 1 1/2-in. cubes. Increase heat to medium; add fish and spinach. Cover and cook until fish is no longer translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

6. Chop basil and mint and stir into stew along with sweet potato cubes. Serve with rice and lime wedges.

Variations:

Chicken: Substitute boned, skinned breast for the fish. Cut into 1/4- by 1/2- by 2-in. strips to ensure quick cooking.

Pork: Use tenderloin in place of the fish, trimming fat and cutting meat into 1/4-in.-thick strips.
