Start using Mumsnet PremiumAdded mint by accident!
(7 Posts)Sorry I meant to come back and say cook it for longer most herbs die a death if you cook for longer
Its a bit late now though
Add cumin, a pinch of cinnamon, a tin of chickpeas. Add chopped dates, figs or apricots if you have some.
Serve with couscous instead of pasta.
Try cooking it out for longer than you normally would do, keep adding liquid.
I know if you put too much chilli in things sticking a potato in can absorb some of the flavour - try that?? Or some milk? I totally sympathise, I hate mint!

Ha, yes I have of course! It tastes..odd. Not overly minty but like the flavours just do not work together at all.
Taste it and see
Might be a bit moussaka ish?
Was just making a bolognese and picked up the wrong herb jar and added mint instead of basil
Is it going to be horrible? Can anything counteract the flavour? (I hate mint in anything that isn’t toothpaste, I don’t know why we had an open jar of it).
I’ve basically added more of everything to try to just overpower the flavour, so more wine, big dollop of tomato purée, some garlic powder (it already has crushed garlic in it). Any other secret tricks that will help?
(I know it’s not the end of the world, it’s just it’s a big bolognese and will do us for three days so I don’t want a horrible minty flavour to ruin it!)
