Ingredients |
4 medium Pink Lady apples
25g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion or 2 banana shallots, finely chopped
2 tbsp dried sage
40g walnuts, quite finely chopped
1 slice of brown bread, crumbed
25g grated parmesan (optional)
|
A good accompaniment to roast pork |
-
In a small frying pan, gently
sweat the onion with the olive oil, butter and sage,
seasoning well with salt & freshly ground black pepper.
Allow to soften over a low heat for around 10 minutes,
stirring occasionally until the onion is lightly
caramelised.
-
Using an apple corer,
carefully scoop and hollow out the core and a little of
the surround apple, leaving you with a walnut-sized
cavity. Score a fine line through the skin all around the
middle of each.
-
Finely chop the excess apple
from the core and add to the frying pan, along with the
walnuts and the breadcrumbs and fry for a few minutes
more. Place the apples in a snug cluster in a small baking
dish and spoon the filling into the hollows, packing it
down quite firmly. Put the grated Parmesan on top.
-
Slide the apples into
the oven and bake for 40 minutes until soft when pierced
with a skewer. Serve hot on its own or with roast pork.
