Spicy mint chutney

When you have mint growing in your garden and don’t know what to do with it, you make mojitos!! But seriously, I really do have a lot of mint and now with the season changing, its time to make my amazing mint chutney that our family and friends can enjoy over the winter and spring with samosas, kebabs and my red lentil fritters.

Such a simple and easy chutney with only a few ingredients, it really only takes a few minutes to make. You can freeze this chutney in ice cube trays and then store frozen in brown paper bags (so they don’t stick together).

All you need is a bunch of roughly chopped cilantro with stems, lemon, mint leaves, garlic cloves, hot green chillies and Himalayan salt.
