👨‍🍳 Yapılışı

1. 1

   Place the diced pork belly or bacon in a cold frying pan over medium heat. Cook slowly until golden brown and crisp. Remove the pork from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Starting with a cold pan allows the fat to render slowly, resulting in crispier pork.
2. 2

   Pour off most of the rendered fat, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the thinly sliced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Don't discard all the flavorful pork fat; it's essential for cooking the apples and onions.
3. 3

   Add the diced apples to the pan with the onions. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Using a mix of apple varieties can add complexity to the flavor.
4. 4

   Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Avoid overcooking them into applesauce.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: A lid traps steam, helping the apples cook evenly without drying out.
5. 5

   Return the cooked pork belly or bacon to the pan. Stir gently to combine with the apples and onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
6. 6

   💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: This dish is also excellent as a side for breakfast or brunch.
