‘Huacatay’ (Peruvian Black Mint, or Apple Marigold)

Huacatay is a herb used in Peru, with a flavour partway between coriander and mint. The plant is easy to grow indoors or out and though it can get really big in a greehouse or polytunnel you just trim it back to a smaller size if necessary.

Great chopped finely and sprinkled on bean dishes, and makes a delicious sauce that can be used like ketchup.
