This unusual side dish is a delicious treat Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1 large shallot, thinly sliced in rings |
6 apples, quartered and seeded |
1/4 teaspoon saffron thread, crumbled |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1 1/2 cups apple cider |
1/4 cup dry sherry |
3 tablespoons dried currants |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Add apples and turn to coat. Stir in saffron, stock, cider, sherry and currants, season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer stirring occasionally until apples are tender, 12-15 minutes.
