Description

I made this chicken stew on a cold autumn night when I had an excess of fresh apples. The apple adds a sweet, pleasant flavor which complements the root vegetables, resulting in a light, but delicious, dinner which warms you from the inside. Great with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and served with sourdough rolls for dipping.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 cups diced sweet potatoes
  • 2 McIntosh apples - peeled, cored, and diced

  • ½ cup apple cider

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion has softened, about 3 minutes.
