This is an excellent sauce of foraged ingredients that goes wonderfully well with lamb.

Ingredients:

30g hedge mustard leaves, finely chopped
30g water mint (or garden mint), finely chopped
1 tsp hawthorn leaf buds, finely copped
1/2 tsp brown sugar
200ml malt vinegar

Method:

The sauce is made like any good mint sauce. Chop the hedge mustard and water mint leaves with the hawthorn leaf buds as finely as possible. Combine in a serving jug with the brown sugar then add the malt vinegar, stir to combine and set aside to infuse for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with lamb as you would any mint sauce.
