Sautéed Bok Choy With Apples And Onions

Benjamin Franklin once said “in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” I would like to add apples from my CSA share to that list.

Every Wednesday, I get a great haul of fresh, local produce from my farmers’ market. And every Wednesday I keep getting more and more apples. I love apple crisp as much as the next person, but if I kept making that I’d be 10lbs heavier from butter.

Instead, I’ve been finding other ways to eat apples. I’ve been loving having them with bok choy since that’s another produce I’ve been getting a lot of lately with no previous experience of. It’s simple, sweet, and a perfect side dish to use up extra apples. Because who hasn’t gone apple picking and came home with 10lbs of apples only to realize that’s a lot of pie crust to make and eat?

Sautéed Bok Choy With Apples And Onions

Ingredients(for 2 servings):

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 head bok choy
• 2 sweet apples
• 1/2 an onion, diced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Heat a pan and the oil over medium-low heat until it comes to temperature. Cut the bok choy in half to make the stalks bite sized and dice the apple. Add the bok choy and apple pieces into the pan and toss for about 5 minutes, until the bok choy begins to loosen up.

Add in the diced onion and toss for another minute, but not so much that the onions turn translucent. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm.

This is a delightfully simple way to get in both fruits and greens and all in under 10 minutes! I’d be lying if I said I couldn’t go for a slice of pie after this, though…
