Mint Chutney

4 servings

30 minutes

Mint chutney is a refreshing sauce with an intense mint aroma, the spicy heat of jalapeño, and a subtle sweetness from sugar. This chutney likely draws inspiration from Indian cuisine but has a Spanish twist due to the use of rice vinegar and vegetable oil. Its flavor is vibrant and invigorating with a harmonious blend of sweetness, tanginess, and spice. Chutney pairs perfectly with meat dishes, fish, and vegetables and can also be an original addition to snacks or fresh bread. It is very quick to prepare: all ingredients are simply blended in a food processor until smooth. It’s best served immediately after preparation to preserve its freshness and flavor intensity. This sauce is a true find for lovers of bold flavor combinations!
