Ingredients
2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as avocado or grapeseed
1 dried red chile
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
Pinch hing (asafetida powder), optional
1 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1 small thumb fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
1 small green chile, such as jalapeno or serrano, pierced a few times
1 cup cherry juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sugar, if needed
Directions
- Pour the oil into a small saucepan over medium heat. Drop in the red chile and cook until the oil starts to shimmer, then add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds and hing, if using. Stir and allow to sizzle for about 20 seconds.
- Add the cranberries, ginger and green chile. Stir, then cook until the cranberries glisten and start to swell, a minute or so. Stir in the cherry juice and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the cranberries soften, about 30 minutes. Remove the whole chiles and discard. Taste for seasoning and add salt, pepper and even sugar until it's just the way you like it! Serve, and enjoy feeling like the superhero you are.
