Why This Recipe Works

To make a relish, which we like to pair with carrots, we combine bold, acidic ingredients with fresh herbs and spices. Vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil turn the ingredients into spoonable relishes.

Instructions

  1. Microwave raisins and water in bowl until steaming, about 1 minute. Cover and let stand until raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Add olives, shallot, oil, vinegar, fennel, and salt to plumped raisins and stir to combine.
