  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, cut into large dice
  • 4 crisp apples, cored and cut into large dice
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto, minced
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 4 bay leaves

About Maggy Keet

As a New Yorker, I take full advantage of the ever evolving, always exciting restaurant scene. But most days, my “happy place” is found in my tiny Manhattan kitchen where I cook two meals a day. My perfect night is spent listening to NPR, while drinking a glass of wine, and creating a simple, (most often) vegetarian supper which I enjoy with my husband, Andy. In addition to blogging, writing, and planning events, I work full time as a Development Fundraiser.

    Ohhh…choucroute. When I went to Paris a few years back, my favorite meal was the choucroute at Brasserie Flo. I’m going to try your version this weekend – it looks a lot easier than mine…

    Chou-croute IS sourkraut. This is a Choucroute Garni recipe, and it looks DELISH! Better name for it would be Shortcut Choucroute Garni 😉
