  2. In medium saut pan over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking.
  3. Add onion and saut, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 7 to 9 minutes.
  4. Add mango and vinegar and cook, stirring frequently, until mango is tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and allspice and simmer gently until sugar is melted and mixture is slightly thickened and syrupy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer chutney to serving dish and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  6. In medium bowl, stir together all ingredients; stand back to let irritating fumes dissipate, then set aside.
