Got some pulled pork from Germany and asked chatgpt's sous chef to pimp it up. Without providing it ingredients it suggested something using apple cider which I just bought to make relish. For all I know you all had this a million times, definitely new to me.


Caramelized Apple and Onion Compote Recipe
Ingredients:
  1. 2 large apples (preferably a sweeter variety like Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled and sliced
  2. 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  3. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  4. 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  5. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  6. Salt and pepper, to taste
  7. A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
(didn’t follow this exactly)

Instructions:
  1. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Apples and Brown Sugar: Add the sliced apples and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook the Compote: Cook the mixture for about 10-12 minutes, or until the apples and onions are nicely caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Deglaze with Vinegar: Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir well, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. This will add a lovely tangy note to the compote.
  6. Season: Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cinnamon (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve with Pulled Pork: Serve this warm compote over your pre-cooked pulled pork.

I had some very good pulled pork sandwiches from food trucks and at bbq fests but damn this was so much better than I expected. It just blends together into a taste bomb.

Got enough left for at least 4 or 5 puff pastry rolls.

Apples and onions…. interesting combo.
I use apple cider vinegar and apple juice 50/50 when I smoke pork…butts and shoulders. And I put brown sugar on pork if I’m smoking or grilling. Also butter is a must have.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I thought. Apples and onions… I normally use the juices from the pulled pork to melt some dutch apple syrup (normally used on slices of bread), mix it up and then put it back in the oven. Apples and pork… Makes sense there’s typically an apple in a the mouth of a roasted pig. I did not taste apples and onions though, just... don’t know, more like it had sauce on the pork. It was ‘darker’ in taste than I expected. Definitely something I’ll make again.

Similar thoughts and experience but then my mind immediately ran to pineapple with pork. I may have to try this!
