She must, however, overcome her own doubts of the age difference, his son and her daughter's opposition and social prejudice to reach her happy ending.

directions

• 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  
  
• 2 Heat olive oil in pan over medium high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or so, just enough for them to sweat and open up the flavors. Set aside.
  
  
• 3 Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl. Add shallot and garlic mixture, season with pinch of cayenne and salt and combine.
