Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon peeled and thinly sliced ginger
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Seeds from 3 cardamom pods (optional) or 1/2-inch piece cinnamon stick
2 green apples, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dates (or any other dried fruit)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Preparation
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion, ginger, cardamom and salt, and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in apples, dates, sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a vigorous simmer, and cook, partially covered, until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.
