This page is about the sauce. For the cartoon strip, see Mint Sauce (cartoon strip).

Mint sauce, in British and Irish cuisine, is a green sauce made from finely chopped peppermint (Mentha × piperita) leaves soaked in vinegar, and a small amount of sugar. Lime juice is sometimes added. The sauce has the consistency of double cream. It is often served as a condiment for roast lamb, but usually not other roast meats, or, in some areas, mushy peas.
Mint sauce can be used in some recipes in place of fresh mint. It can be eaten on toast or bread.
Similar green sauces were common throughout Medieval Europe, with the use of mint being more common in French and Italian cuisine of the period than that of the English); however, they became less common and mostly died out as Europe entered the Modern Era.In Tunisia a similar sauce is made out of dried mint and can be served with a méchoui, a mulukhiyah or as a base for a vinaigrette. Dried and fresh mint are also part of several dishes of Tunisian cuisine.
Mint sauces may include fruits in their preparation, such as raspberries.
