Mint Mojo

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup picked fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup picked fresh parsley leaves
• 2 medium clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
• 1 1/2 tablespoons juice and 1 teaspoon zest from 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons juice from 1 sour orange
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 small red chili or pinch red pepper flakes
• 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Add the olive oil to a food processor or blender, then pile in the mint, parsley, garlic, capers, lemon zest and juice, orange juice, shallot, and pepper flakes. Blend until the sauce comes together as a coarse puree, not a perfectly smooth one. Scrape it into a small bowl, add salt and pepper to your taste, and let it wait there until you need it.
