Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (60 g / 2.12 oz) firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
  • 1/2 cup (20 g / 0.71 oz) firmly packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1-2 Thai green chiles, or to taste
  • 2-inch / 5 cm piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 small red onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp (10 ml) salt, or to taste
  • 1-4 tbsp (60 ml) water, as needed
  • For a cooler, creamier sauce, blend in 1/2 cup (480 ml) of plain yogurt (dairy or plant-based) to create a delicious chutney-raita hybrid.
  • To preserve your chutney for several weeks, replace the lime juice with 1/2 cup (480 ml) of white wine vinegar and increase the garlic to 5 cloves.
  • Feel free to substitute the mint with an equal amount of Thai basil or simply use more cilantro for a different but equally delicious flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Add the cilantro, mint, green chiles, ginger, red onion, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Pulse several times until the are finely chopped and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add the fresh lime juice and salt. Process continuously until the chutney is nearly smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt for balance, lime juice for brightness, or chile for extra heat.
  5. Serve immediately for the brightest flavor, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a day.
  6. Freeze leftover chutney in an ice cube tray for perfectly portioned flavor bombs to add to future meals.
