Almond and Raisin Agrodolce

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

Directions

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.
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.
3. Mix raisins, onion, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes into almonds; season with salt. Let sit 10 minutes.
4. Toss in parsley just before serving.
5. Agrodolce (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
