GREEN MINT CHUNTEY

About 1 cup, 5 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional, but nice)

• 1 packed cup mixed greens (organic mixed green bag of spinach + baby kale + chard)

• 2–3 tbsp unsweetened plain yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt)

• 1/4 tsp sea salt (more to taste)

• 1/2 tsp raw sugar, honey, or maple syrup (remember not to heat honey)

• 1–2 tbsp water (as needed for blending)

• 1–2 tsp sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts

• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, dry-roasted and freshly ground

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse mint, cilantro, and greens well.

2. Dry-roast cumin seeds in a small pan over medium heat for 1–2 min, until aromatic. Cool, then grind.

3. Add mint, greens, yogurt, salt, sugar/sweetener, seeds, and ground cumin to a blender.

4. Add 1 tbsp water to start. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add more water/yogurt for desired consistency.

5. Taste and adjust salt and sweetness as needed.

Notes

• What a way to get your greens!

• Honestly this chutney is delicious. I make it in summer/ spring when the weather is hot and I want a cooling and tasty sauce or condiment with my meals. It is a GREAT compliment and kids love it. Feel free to play with the herbs in it - maybe try basil or dill instead of cilantro. Spring & summer is a time to play with fresh herbs :).
