Servings: persons

5 smallish green (unripe) mangoes, peeled and diced
2 or 2-1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 fresh small hot chili peppers (I used one Fresno for color and one Serrano), seeds and veins removed, finely minced (wear rubber gloves)
1-1/2 teaspoons ground fenugreek
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2-1 teaspoons ground sumac
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less, according to taste)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
water as needed-have ready 1 cup

1
Toss the mango with the salt in a non-reactive bowl. Cover and chill overnight.
2
The next day, heat a wide pan over medium-low heat. Add oil. When it shimmers, add mustard seeds. When they start to sputter, turn heat quickly to low and add peppers. Stir once--you don't want to scorch the mixture.
3
Add mango and spices, stirring to incorporate. Add lemon juice. If mixture appears dry stir in water in about 1/4 cup increments. Add brown sugar, stir until melted in.
4
Cook, stirring, until mango chunks are tender, adding water as needed. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
5
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Scrape into container(s) and refrigerate.
6
Allow to cure at least overnight. Use as a condiment for felafel, shawarma, poultry, fish or meat, a cheese sandwich or a lunch of strained Greek yogurt and crisp Scandinavian flatbread if you're feeling multi-national.
