Yield 2-4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 Fresno chile, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 1/2" piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1 Tbsp. mustard seeds
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Combine raisins and lemon juice in a small bowl; let sit 15-20 minutes for raisins to plump.
Meanwhile, combine garlic, oil, and coconut in a small saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook, swirling pan often, until oil is bubbling and garlic and coconut are golden, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and stir in chile, ginger, mustard seeds, and turmeric. Transfer to a heatproof measuring glass and let cool.
Add raisins and lemon juice to garlic mixture and toss to coat; season relish with salt.
