Recipe: New potatoes with catnip
Vegetable recipes with herbs
September 16, 2008
 When I bought catnip (or catmint) seeds, I imagined my cat will enjoy it.
They were difficult to grow, with long germination times, but I told to myself that my cat deserves such effort.
When I finally place the pot in her favourite sunny place... she simply ignored it.
Anyway, catnip leaves were very flavorous, smelling of mint and lemon: similar to balm leaves, but more fleshy.
I included them in my special dried mint tea mixture and used in some recipes.
This one is prepared with new potatoes that aren't mine, but this is a different story…
