SERVES SIX

• 3 medium red onions, cut into paper-thin round slices
• 3 medium yams, cut into thin round slices
• 2 cups apple cider
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1 Tbs. fresh thyme
• 1 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

P R E P A R A T I O N:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange the onion and yam slices in alternating layers
in a 9-inch round or oval gratin dish. Pour the apple cider
into a small saucepan, add the brown sugar, salt, and pepper,
and stir over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the hot cider over the onions and yams
and sprinkle with thyme. Dot with butter, cover the dish
with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil
and continue baking, basting often, until the onions
and yams are tender, about 30 minutes.
Divide among plates and serve.


Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish.
