Orange Fig Pine Nut Relish

 

1 cup dried figs, (about 6 ounces), stemmed and cut into 1/3-inch pieces

1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest

1/2 cup water

2 navel oranges, the peel cut away with a serrated knife and the sections

chopped (about 1 cup)

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons minced shallot

1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves, or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled, or to

taste

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted lightly

 

 

 

 

 

In a small saucepan simmer the figs and the zest in the water, covered

partially, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the figs are tender and most of the

water is evaporated. Transfer the fig mixture to a bowl and let it cool. Stir in

the orange, the honey, the shallot, the rosemary, and the lemon juice, let the

mixture stand for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days, and stir in the pine

nuts. Serve the relish with roasted or grilled [favorites].

 

Servings: Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
