I got this recipe at one of Chef Stephan Pyles cooking classes-Stephen is often credited with inventing Southwestern cuisine. I hear he’s a rock star in Dallas where his flagship restaurant is named after him. He prepared this cranberry dish during his class. It’s delicious-a fun alternative to the traditional cranberry sauce.
Directions:
Rough chop the cranberries with the sugar in a food processor in batches and set aside.
Mince the garlic and habaneros and place with the cumin in a large stainless mixing bowl.
Heat the olive oil in a pan to 140 degrees then carefully pour into the garlic-habanero mixture and let sit until garlic no longer “sizzles”. Stir this into the cranberry-sugar mixture and add the reduced orange juice and sherry vinegar.
Add the salt and cilantro and combine thoroughly.
