Sauteed Apple, Carrot, and Onion Slaw with Pecans image

Categories     Salad     Onion     Sauté     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Apple     Pecan     Carrot     Spring     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Granny Smith apple
1 carrot
1/2 red onion, sliced thin lengthwise
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoons salt

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.
