This fresh chutney combines pineapple with a recent Parisian obsession—mangoes—for a vibrant counterpoint to rich pâté. For more recipes inspired by the City of Light, visit our Paris City Guide.
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon star anise pieces
- 1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
- 1 cup small dice (1/8 inch) mango (from 1 mango)
- 1/2 cup small dice (1/8 inch) fresh pineapple (1/4 lb)
- 1 1/2 lb store-bought country pâté
-
Accompaniment:
a baguette
-
Bring sugar and water to a boil with star anise in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until pale golden. Carefully add vinegar, red-pepper flakes, and 1/8 tsp salt (caramel will spatter and harden). Continue to cook until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes.
-
Pour syrup over fruit in a bowl and gently stir. Chill at least 4 hours.
-
Bring chutney to room temperature before serving with pâté.
Cooks’ notes:
- Chutney can be made 2 days ahead.
