General:Mint is the dried leaf of a perennial herb. There are two important species, Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) and Mentha piperita L. (peppermint)....
Well, sounds interesting but this is not a "paella" (paella names come form the reciepient used and NEVER is made at the owen), neither the typical way how we cook the rice here in Barcelona. Sorry to sound too "purist" but I had to say it.
