Strawberries with Lemon and Mint | | |
Author:
Adapted from Jamie’s Italy by the revolutionary Jamie Oliver Serves:
4 - 1 lb strawberries
- 2 tbsp mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar or turbindado sugar
- 1 lemon
- Thoroughly clean strawberries. Using a knife, hull the strawberries by removing the stems. Slice strawberries length-wise from top to bottom in 1/4″ in width and place in a large bowl.
- Zest a lemon and sprinkle over the strawberries. Slice the lemon in half and remove the seeds. Squeeze each half over the strawberries so that the lemon juice coats the strawberries.
- Add the sugar over the strawberries. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the strawberries.
- Mix the strawberry mixture so that the sugar dissolves and the mint and zest are evenly distributed throughout the coated strawberries.
- Let the coated strawberries sit for 10 minutes so that the strawberries macerate.
