Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot minced
- 9 ounces dried fig stems removed, rough chopped
- ⅔ cup Madeira
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 TBSP honey
- ⅔ cup water
- 6 TBSP whole grain mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ TBSP black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced shallot and sweat for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped figs to the shallots and pour in the Madeira to deglaze the pot, stirring frequently. Allow the liquid to reduce until almost gone.
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the figs are softened.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender pitcher as needed. If necessary, add a little extra water to help achieve a smooth consistency.
- Once pureed, return the mixture to the pot, off of the heat. Stir in the whole grain mustard, salt, and black pepper.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Transfer the cooled mostarda to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
