Sage onion & Apple COMPOTE
Deeply satisfying, this savory-sweet compote pairs well with just about everything, pork chops in particular. It is a favorite Thanksgiving dish at my family’s gatherings.
INGREDIENTS 2 Tablespoons butter 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1/2 red onion, diced 2 apples, diced or sliced 10 fresh large sage leaves, cut into 1/4 inch pieces 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried ¾ cup chicken stock OR water (more may be needed, it depends on the apples) 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper
1/8 cup raisins (optional)
INstructions 1) Heat butter, oil and onions in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. 2) Add in the remaining ingredients, cover and continue to cook for 15 minutes or so, on low-medium heat, stirring often. 3) You may need to add an additional ¼ cup of stock or water, depending on the variety of the apple. Serve leftovers cold or warmed with French toast and maple syrup in the morning. PAGE 16 10 PAGE
