This fresh chutney combines pineapple with a recent Parisian obsession—mangoes—for a vibrant counterpoint to rich pâté.

Cooks' notes:

Chutney can be made 2 days ahead.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    4 3/4 hr (includes chilling)

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings with leftover chutney

Ingredients

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 pound)
1 1/2 pounds store-bought country pâté

Accompaniment:

a baguette

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    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 teaspoon salt (caramel will spatter and harden). Continue to cook until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Pour syrup over fruit in a bowl and gently stir. Chill at least 4 hours.

    Step 3

    Bring chutney to room temperature before serving with pâté
