Moretaria: Mentam, rutam, coriandrum, feniculum, omnia viridian, ligusticum, piper, mel, liquamen. Si opus fuerit, acetum addes
 

Condiment for a moretum: Mint, rue, coriander, fennel, all fresh, lovage, pepper, honey, and garum. If necessary, add vinegar
 

Grind the herbs in a mortar; mix with the honey, garum, and olive oil. Blend with the fresh soft cheese, such as ricotta.
 

Here we used the herbs that were in Lady Estella’s garden with drained Cottage Cheese. This is now one of my favorite dishes.
