DECEMBER 2014 The Costco Connection 71
Of course, you can serve Herbed Pork Tenderloins
with store-bought chutney, but homemade apple
chutney with fresh ginger and raisins is easy to
make and delicious!
1 cup chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced or grated fresh ginger
(see note)
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
( 4 oranges)
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
6 tart apples, peeled, cored and in
½-inch dice
¾ cup raisins
Note: To mince ginger, I peel it, dice it and process it in a mini food processor.
Combine the onion, ginger, orange juice, vinegar,
brown sugar, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes
and salt in a medium-size saucepan.
Add the apples to the mixture as you chop to
keep them from turning brown. Bring to a boil
over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 50 minutes to
1 hour, stirring occasionally, until most of the
liquid has evaporated. Stir in the raisins and
serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
Makes 5 cups.
Make it ahead: Store covered in the refrigerator
for up to two weeks.
Apple Chutney
At one of my favorite restaurants in Paris, I was
served a simple carrot purée that had an elusive
flavor, so I asked the waiter for the secret. He whispered that it was browned butter—what the
French call beurre noisette. It was such a simple
ingredient, but it completely transformed this
vegetable purée.
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head cauliflower, cored and
cut into florets
1½ pounds carrots, unpeeled and cut into
1-inch chunks (see note)
4 ounces good salted butter
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add 2 tablespoons of salt and the cauliflower,
and boil for 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is
very tender. Remove the cauliflower to a bowl,
using a slotted spoon or strainer. Add the car-
rots to the boiling water and cook for another
20 minutes, until very tender. Drain the carrots
and add them to the cauliflower. (Boil them
separately, light-colored vegetables first,
since they might not cook in the same
amount of time.)
Place a food mill fitted with the medium disc
over a large saucepan and process the vegetables into the pan.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small (8-inch)
sauté pan over medium-low heat and cook
until the milk solids in the pan turn golden
brown. Watch the butter carefully, because it
will turn black very quickly! Whisk the browned
butter plus 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon
of pepper into the vegetable purée. Taste for
seasonings, reheat over low heat and serve hot.
Makes 5 to 6 servings.
Note: I prefer “topped” carrots that are sold
with the greens attached, because they’re
fresher and sweeter.
Make it ahead: You can prepare this dish
completely and refrigerate it for up to four days.
Reheat over low heat on top of the stove.
