"With a hint of smokiness from lean Canadian bacon, this skillet dish is excellant served with brown bread for a light supper."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 14
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 apple, cored and diced
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 1 1⁄2 ounces Canadian bacon, diced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1⁄2 lbs small red potatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (16 ounce) can whole baby beets, drained and diced
• 1 teaspoon dill weed

directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking over medium-high heat. Add the apple, onion, and bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until the apple and onion are softened and the bacon is lightly crisped, about 7 minutes.
2. Stir in the broth and potatoes and bring to boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, honey, mustard, cornstarch, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir the vinegar mixture into the skillet, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in beets and dill weed and cook until the beets ae just warmed through, about 1 minute longer.

Was going to try cutting this recipe in half, but then decided to go the whole thing, since I always enjoy a least a handful of the ingredients listed! Had a GREAT TASTING meal with this one! I especially enjoyed that it included the baby beets! VERY, VERY NICE! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed while on tour in Canada with Zaar's World Tour 4]
