Grilled meat, roasted veggies, or on a good slab of bread—mint chutney can really elevate your flavor game. It is super simple to make and doesn’t have a long laundry list of ingredients. I love having a mason jar of this green goodness in the fridge, and it never seems to stick around that long…

I was sitting on the cool earthen floor of a traditional home in the northernmost desert of Uganda. The family cow trying to find refuge from the heat had stuck her head through the window and you could tell she was annoyed that I had taken her spot on the floor. Outside, the mirage was so thick you couldn’t distinguish the horizon. The rainy season was about to begin, and the heat was truly a force of nature as everyone begged the rain to begin.
