Fried mint

Fried mint

Fresh mint leaves are dipped in a featherlight egg batter and fried until shatteringly crisp, then salted while hot. The herb's cool, bracing flavour survives the frying, making an unusual snack with a delicate, lacy crunch.

    Place the mint coated with batter into the pan, remember to flip it halfway through, and take it out when both sides of the mint leaves turn golden brown.
