Thanks. Wife is going out of town on business starting Sunday and still have to get kids to soccer practices and other places while she’s gone, so going to make this Sunday night as dinner for Monday and Tuesday!

I’ve longed for a chocolate mint plant since I made the apple mint ice cream. As it turns out, I may have gotten my wish—found some sprouts outside of my compost bin that I believe to be chocolate mint sprouted from the leftover bits of a farmers’ market purchase. Hoping they’ll return next spring, at which time I’ll try transplanting them elsewhere.

I may have underestimated on the 6-8 leaves quantity. Don’t be shy–add as much as you think belongs, adjust based on the size of the leaves (the leaves of the apple mint are particularly large)

This recipe looks delicious. What a great way to celebrate the flavors of the season.

Thanks. This sounds fantastic. I just purchased some quinoa. Hoping to use it this weekend. Don’t have apple mint, so maybe just 6-8 standard mint leaves (our plant is still OK) will do.

Do have some chocolate mint, which tastes great, but only thing I’ve really used it for is to give a minty kick to chocolate martinis, which it does quite well!
