4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter

• salt (a little)

Instructions

1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pot.
2. Peel sour apples, quarter them, remove the core, and braise them in the butter until half-cooked.
3. Then add currants, a little wine, bouillon or water (but not too much), the meat cut into pieces, and a little salt.
4. Let everything simmer together, occasionally swirling the pot.
5. The broth should be rich and beautifully creamy.
