Almond and Raisin Agrodolce

This almond and raisin agrodolce is a vibrant Italian-inspired condiment that perfectly balances sweet, sour, and savoury notes. The combination of plump golden raisins soaked in vinegar and the crunch of toasted almonds creates a complex texture that elevates simple grilled fish or roasted vegetables. It is a wonderful way to add a punch of brightness to your cooking using shop-bought staples and fresh herbs.

As a heart-healthy side or topping, this recipe relies on extra-virgin olive oil and nutrient-dense nuts rather than heavy, creamy sauces. The addition of fresh parsley and lemon zest ensures a fragrant finish that keeps the dish light and refreshing. If you want to get ahead, the base can be prepared in advance, making it a clever choice for stress-free entertaining.

Ingredients for Almond and Raisin Agrodolce

  • 60ml chopped golden raisins

  • 60ml white wine vinegar

  • 80ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • 60ml chopped skin-on almonds

  • 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced, rinsed, patted dry

  • 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

  • 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • Kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup parsley leaves with tender stems

How to make Almond and Raisin Agrodolce

Place raisins in a medium bowl and pour vinegar over (it should cover raisins). Let sit, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes for raisins to soften.

Meanwhile, combine oil and almonds in a small skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flesh is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

Mix raisins, onion, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes into almonds; season with salt. Let sit 10 minutes.

Toss in parsley just before serving.

Agrodolce (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
