SAUTEED APPLES AND ONIONS



Sauteed Apples and Onions image

This was once a pioneer favorite. Yes, it sounds weird, but it's delicious. You'll want to have something to go with this that has some protein, like a garden burger or a brown rice packet, both of which you can microwave. Apples and onions only takes about 10 minutes, a few dollars and it's delicious as a topping for rice or even by itself for a light snack.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS



Pork Chops with Apples and Onions image

Sauteed apples and onion combine with pork chops for a tastiness that never disappoints.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 bone-in pork chops (loin or shoulder), cut 3/4 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large white onion, sliced
2 to 3 apples, cored and sliced (about 3 cups)
1 cup beer, white wine, cider, or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
  • Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
  • Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.

SAUTEED APPLE, CARROT, AND ONION SLAW WITH PECANS



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:

  • Selecting the Right Apples: Choose firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well during cooking. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are excellent choices.
  • Slicing the Apples and Onions: Cut the apples and onions into thin, even slices to ensure uniform cooking. This will also help them caramelize beautifully.
  • Using Butter or Oil: You can use either butter or oil for sautéing the apples and onions. Butter adds a rich, nutty flavor, while oil provides a lighter texture.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to enhance the flavor of your sautéed apples and onions. Common choices include salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon.
  • Caramelizing the Apples: To achieve that irresistible caramelized texture, cook the apples and onions over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. This allows the natural sugars in the apples to caramelize slowly, creating a delicious golden-brown color.
  • Adding Liquids: If you find that the apples and onions are sticking to the pan, you can add a splash of water, apple cider, or white wine to deglaze the pan and prevent burning.

Conclusion:

Sautéed apples and onions are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in various ways. Serve them as a side dish to roasted meats, poultry, or fish. They also make a fantastic topping for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps. Additionally, you can incorporate them into salads, pasta dishes, and even desserts. With their sweet and savory flavor, caramelized apples and onions add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any meal. So, experiment with different recipes, seasonings, and cooking techniques to create your perfect sautéed apples and onions dish.
