Instructions

Prepare the Herbs: Start by finely chopping the fresh mint leaves and rosemary sprig using a food processor. The goal is to get a fine, uniform texture that will blend seamlessly into the sauce.

-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the finely chopped herbs into a medium-sized bowl.

Heat the Vinegar: In a small saucepan, gently heat the white wine vinegar until it’s warm but not boiling. This step helps to release the flavors of the herbs and meld them with the vinegar.

Mix and Sweeten: Pour the warmed vinegar over the chopped herbs in the bowl. Stir well to combine. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness by adding more granulated sugar if desired.
-
Serve: You can serve this sauce either hot or cold. It’s a fantastic accompaniment to roasted lamb, but it also pairs beautifully with other meats or even as a zesty drizzle over vegetables.
