Notes Pound the herbs in a mortar and add honey, vinegar and a few drops of garumº. Fresh parsely didn't seem appropriate to me, so I used it in its dried condition. Actually, I suspect Apicius of having meant parsely seed. As to quantities: it is meant to be a cumin sauce, so cumin has to be added in a sufficient amount to come to the front. When using this sauce for the dish of peaches, it is to a great advantage if the mint also will be clearly recognised in the end. The other flavors may form a background to cumin and mint. |
