Bulgarian traditional cuisine is defined as spicy, as one of the main raw materials used are spices. Their use is a necessity that improves the taste of food and promotes its assimilation.
Their impact is determined by the concentration, quantity, color and taste ingredients. Every chef has his own taste, but in our traditional cuisine there are certain rules about how to season each dish.
The spices are used both fresh in the warm months and dried or frozen in the winter. Along with parsley, dill and yarrow, mint and mint are traditionally used in Bulgaria.
Although they have certain similarities, mint and mint have insurmountable differences. Both plants are perennial and have a strong and pronounced odor by which they can be easily distinguished.
However, mint is considered a peppermint obtained by crossing. It was the first cultivated plant in Europe. Today in our country several types of mint and their crosses are used, which are called mint.
Mint, like almost every other favorite Bulgarian spice, is used fresh and dried. It is added to traditional bean soup, dishes with green beans, lentils, peas.
It is used to season potato salad, fish sauces, meat dishes, spaghetti and much more. Its strong aroma makes it a wonderful means of flavoring liqueurs.
To have mint on hand at all times, then pick its stalks during flowering. They are washed, drained well, tied in wrists and left in a dry and ventilated place to dry.
When completely dry, the leaves are plucked from the stems and stored in glass jars, which are tightly closed. Store in a dry and cool place.
Mint, on the other hand, is widespread in our country. There are a total of 22 species. The most popular is garden mint, which is used in cooking. It blooms in small, red-purple flowers. Only the young petals are used.
It is a suitable spice for much fewer dishes than mint. It is suitable for meat, fish and vegetable dishes. It goes well with lamb, cheese, peas, fruit salads, soups, ice cream. It is also used to make tonic tea.
The most suitable for use is fresh mint. It can be stored briefly in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Another option is to freeze in an ice mold. Just like mint, it can be dried by storing it in tightly closed containers in a dry and dark place.
