Ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 small shallots, minced
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1 cup chopped pitted dates (4 ounces)
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown at edges, 3 minutes. Add mustard seeds and cook, stirring, until beginning to pop, 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 6 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
