WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.725 Well, what about the applesauce? 2 00:00:03.125 --> 00:00:06.000 Comfort food is like that. 3 00:00:06.137 --> 00:00:09.950 They are generally dishes that have emerged from the day by day of a kitchen, 4 00:00:10.175 --> 00:00:12.937 the routine of a mother who has those ingredients 5 00:00:13.050 --> 00:00:17.237 and has to extract all the flavors she can out of them. 6 00:00:17.237 --> 00:00:19.725 The first time I made this applesauce 7 00:00:19.725 --> 00:00:21.250 to serve with latkes, 8 00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:25.150 I peeled the apple, saw those little seeds, 9 00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:26.513 and when I was discarding them, 10 00:00:26.513 --> 00:00:29.875 I said: "Why am I going to cook the apples in plain water, 11 00:00:29.875 --> 00:00:32.950 if I can cook them in seasoned water, 12 00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:35.425 in flavored water?" 13 00:00:35.425 --> 00:00:39.662 So I added the apple peels and seeds 14 00:00:39.787 --> 00:00:45.950 to the water, made some tea, and then I cooked the apple in this tea. 15 00:00:46.262 --> 00:00:51.475 The green apple is cooked in this tea to maximize its flavor.
