This fresh, herbal sauce is one of those incredibly simple yet flavorful additions to the culinary repertoire. It goes with steak, chicken and pork. The easy method is to throw everything in the blender and then adjust ratios for your taste--maybe less mint and more basil, more chili flakes and less capers. It's yours to decide.
