Double Your Pleasure: Mint Chutney

Think that you can only get a nice burst of mint flavor from some gum that twins chew? Try getting a clean mouth by chewing on fresh organic mint leaves instead. You can easily grow it in a small pot by your windowsill … or buy it, we won’t judge.  Another great way to use fresh mint leaves is to make mint chutney. It makes a great dipping condiment (remember those samosas from last week?) or even a spread on your sandwich. Greenista Girl Shubhra shares her mint recipes from her new cookbook, Entice with Spice – Easy Indian Recipes for Busy People.

Mint Chutney

Makes ½ cup – Prep time: 10 minutes – Refrigerator life: 5 days- Freezer life: 1 month

Defrosting method: Stir the refrigerated or defrosted chutney and serve either chilled or at room temperature.

  • ½ small onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1½ cups packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Rinse the chopped onion with cold water to reduce the bitterness.

2. Process all the ingredients in a mini food processor until almost smooth, but do not purée it because some texture looks nice.

3. Enjoy now or refrigerate or freeze for later!
