Pineapple Relish

Adapted from the pineapple relish served at Hank’s Haute Dogs on Honolulu, this sweet-tart condiment is a great foil for savory dogs. It also makes an unorthodox—but delicious—topping for pork or shrimp tacos.

Makes about 2 cups

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8–10 minutes.
  2. Add the crushed pineapple, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid reduces, about 15 minutes.
  3. Add the vinegar, mustard, and lime zest and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the lime juice, and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes more.
  5. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  6. When cooled, taste and adjust the seasonings. The relish keeps, tightly covered and refrigerated, for 5 days.
