How to Make Mint Chutney

  1. Combine 4 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Add 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves and pulse until finely minced (but not pureed).
  3. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion and 1/4 cup pine nuts. Process until very finely minced.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat).
  5. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until fully incorporated.
  6. Add the juice of 1 large lemon and pulse a few times to combine. Do not over-process.
  7. Transfer the chutney to an airtight container. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Drizzle generously over your favorite lamb dishes, BBQ pork burgers, or use as a delicious dipping sauce.
