Large handful of fresh mint leaves
Handful of fresh oregano, leaves picked
1-2 red chillies, seeds removed or left in, according to taste
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

Method

Whizz all the ingredients apart from the olive oil in a food processor with plenty of seasoning until roughly chopped.
