Steps:
- In a 10- to 12-inch non-stick skillet sauté pecans in butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden and transfer with a slotted spoon to a small dish. Using the julienne blade of a hand-held slicing device or food processor cut apple, cored, and carrot into 1/8-inch julienne strips and add with onion to skillet. In the skillet sauté mixture over moderately high heat, stirring, 1 minute and stir in water, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer slaw, covered, until carrot is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape during cooking, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn.
- Cut the apples and carrots evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Stir the vegetables frequently: This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best served hot or warm.
