Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shallot, minced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon red chile flakes

  • 4 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup sherry vinegar

Instructions
  1. In a large non-reactive saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, shallot, and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.
  2. Add cumin, coriander, chile flakes, orange zest, fennel seeds, salt, pepper, and mustard seeds. Cook, stirring frequently, until mustard seeds begin to pop, about 1 minute.
  3. Add tomato paste and stir until oil starts to separate, about 30 seconds. Stir in sugar and stir until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add vinegar and allow mixture to combine, stirring for about 1 more minute.
  4. Turn heat down to low and add the tomatoes. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes. The confiture should deepen in color and flavor.
