Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onions
kosher salt -- preferably Diamond brand
1 pound Bing cherries -- or other sweet cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar -- plus more as needed
1/4 cup rice vinegar -- plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
In a medium, heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion
and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft
and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the cherries, sugar, vinegar, mustard
seeds, thyme, and dry mustard, stir together, and bring to a simmer. Cover
and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cherries partially collapse but
have not turned to mush, 10 to 14 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, let cool slightly, and then taste and adjust
the seasoning with salt, sugar, and vinegar if needed. Serve warm, at room
temperature, or cold.
Makes 1 1/2 cups (6 one-quarter cup servings)
Storage: refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. The sauce
does not freeze well because the cherries get too mushy.
AuthorNote: Mostarda is a wonderful, spicy Italian condiment that's not
quite a chutney, not quite a pickle, but rather a sweet-hot chunky
preserve of fruits with mustard. It's often served with cold boiled or
roasted meats. In this simplified version, I'm playing the deep sweetness
of Bing cherries against sinus-clearing dry mustard and brown mustard
seeds.
The result is a perfect companion for pate, ham, or even meat loaf. Or,
use it in a riff on the old appetizer classic of pepper jelly poured over
cream cheese by spooning some of the sauce over cream cheese or fromage
blanc. Serve it with good crackers and a well-made Negroni for an
enjoyable cocktail hour.
