Apricot & Walnut Relish

By miss5elements

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 1/2 cups dried apricots, coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400° F. Spread the nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the apricots, lemon juice, sugar, 1 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid becomes syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes.
Fold in the walnuts, scallions, and olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
