3/4 cup minced onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup chopped dried figs |
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided |
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
