Here is the cilantro chutney recipe. This is an Afghani/Indian recipe.
8oz Cilantro leaves
2 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 to 6 fresh green chilies, depending on heat and heat tolerance
Juice of 2 limes (start off with juice of 1 lime)
4 fresh mint leaves
1 tbl spn olive oil
Water
2 tbl spns walnuts, chopped
Salt to taste
Place all ingredients in the blender. Add just enough water to allow the ingredients to move in the blender. Grind to a medium smooth paste. Add salt to taste, adjust lime juice content to suit your taste. Allow to stand for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes: You can eliminate the olive oil if you wish, but the olive oil adds a little richness to the chutney. You can also replace the lime juice with vinegar, but I like the freshness of the lime juice.
