POTATO PANCAKES WITH CHUNKY GRANNY SMITH APPLESAUCE AND CINNAMON CREME FRAICHE



Potato Pancakes with Chunky Granny Smith Applesauce and Cinnamon Creme Fraiche image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small onion, peeled
1 large baking potato (about 1 pound), peeled
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Pinch baking powder
Canola oil, for frying
Chunky Granny Smith Applesauce, recipe follows
Cinnamon Creme Fraiche, recipe follows
3 to 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (depending on how sweet or tart you want it)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into large dice
1 cup creme fraiche
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • On a box grater, coarsely shred the onion and potato. Transfer to a colander or wrap in a cheesecloth sling, and squeeze as dry as possible. Let stand for 2 minutes, then squeeze dry again. Put the potatoes in a large bowl, add the flour, salt, pepper, baking powder and egg, and gently fold to combine.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until shimmering. Drop heaping tablespoons of the potatoes into the skillet and flatten them with the back of the spoon. Cook the pancakes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  • Serve the potato pancakes topped with Chunky Granny Smith Applesauce and a small dollop of Cinnamon Creme Fraiche.
  • Cook's Note: Reheat the pancakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven until they're crisp again. If you undercooked them a bit or didn't get the browning on them you'd hoped for, you can compensate for this in the oven.
  • To a large pot, combine 1 cup water, sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and apples. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Coarsely mash to a chunky consistency. Let cool to room temperature.;
  • Whisk together creme fraiche and cinnamon, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.;

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 sprigs rosemary leaves, roughly chopped
2 sprigs sage, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 (6-chop) pork rib roast
2 large onions, sliced
1 bundle thyme, tied with string
3 bay leaves
2 quarts apple cider
Chunky Applesauce, recipe follows
3 tablespoons butter
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks (toss the apples in lemon juice if not using right away)
1 1/2 cups of the reserved cider from the Roasted Pork Loin with Cider
1/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the chopped herbs with the garlic, crushed red pepper, a generous pinch of salt and enough olive oil to make a paste. Brush the paste on the outside of the pork rib roast.
  • Toss the onions with olive oil, and salt, and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the thyme, bay leaves and 2/3 of the cider. Place the pork on top of the onions and place in the preheated oven. Roast the pork at 425 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork has developed a lovely brown crust. Check the pork, stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider when the level starts to go down.
  • Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast for another 30 to 35 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider and cinnamon and cook over low-medium heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft.
  • Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

If you're looking for something comforting to warm you from your lips to your toes, this applesauce will do the trick.

ROASTED PORK LOIN WITH CIDER AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE



Roasted Pork Loin With Cider and Chunky Applesauce image

This succulent bone-in pork loin uses a high heat method over liquid to seal in the juices, then cooks at lower heat to tender perfection before being cut off the bone for serving. The aromas of savory spices and onions mingle with apple cider to permeate the roast with amazing flavor, and it's finished with a side of chunky, sweet/savory apple sauce. A delicious recipe from Chef Anne Burrell.

This is a fun twist to homemade applesauce. Red hot candies give it some "bite" and those can be adjusted to one's personal taste. We love to serve this when we make City Chicken and Mashed potatoes.

  • If you want a sweeter applesauce, add some sugar or honey to taste.
  • For a tangy twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • If you're using a slow cooker, cook the applesauce on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • If you're using a stovetop, bring the applesauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
