Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped golden raisins
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped skin-on almonds
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced, rinsed, patted dry
1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup parsley leaves with tender stems

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place raisins in a medium bowl and pour vinegar over (it should cover raisins). Let sit, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes for raisins to soften.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, combine oil and almonds in a small skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flesh is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

    Step 3

    Mix raisins, onion, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes into almonds; season with salt. Let sit 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Toss in parsley just before serving.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 5

    Agrodolce (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
