How to Make Mint Chutney
- Combine 4 cloves garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until a smooth paste forms.
- Add 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves and pulse until finely minced (but not pureed).
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion and 1/4 cup pine nuts. Process until very finely minced.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat).
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until fully incorporated.
- Add the juice of 1 large lemon and pulse a few times to combine. Do not over-process.
- 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.
- 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.
