This is a traditional country dish. Sugar is optional, but I think it's better with it. Try this for breakfast with fried potatoes. This recipe came from The Little House Cookbook by Barbara M Walker, and the food featured in Farm Boy. Ingredients:
1/2 lb sliced bacon or 1/2 lb salt pork |
6 yellow onions (2 pounds) |
6 tart apples (2 pounds) |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Fry bacon or salt pork slices in a skillet until brown and crisp. Set them aside on a warm serving platter.
2. While the meat is frying, peel the onions and slice them as thinly as possible.
3. Core the apples and cut them crosswise in circles about 1/4 inches thick. Apple skins help the slices keep their shape and add color to the dish, so don't peel unless the skins are tough or scarred.
4. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet, then add the onion slices. Cook them over medium high heat for about 3 minutes.
5. Cover with apple slices in an even layer. Sprinkle brown sugar over all, cover the skillet, and cook until tender, a few minutes more. Stir only to prevent scorching.
6. Remove to the warm plate with the bacon or salt pork slices and serve.
