Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 Spanish onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
• 2 Yukon gold potatoes, skin on, and cut into 1/2 inch dice
• 6 cups clam broth
• 20 oysters, shucked
• 1/4 cup creme fraiche
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
• Winter Green Salad and Green Apple Vinaigrette, recipe follows
• 1 small head escarole, torn into bite-sized pieces
• 2 Belgian endive, leaves separated
• 2 celery stalks, cut on the diagonal into thin slices
• 1 Granny Smith apple, halved cored and thinly sliced
• Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, for garnish
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1/2 shallot, finely diced
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. Heat a mixture of olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Sauté the onions with sugar until they turn golden brown and caramelize. Once done, add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
2. While the onions are cooking, boil the potatoes in a medium saucepan filled with cold salted water until they are cooked through. Then, drain and set them aside.
3. Pour clam broth into the onions and bring it to a simmer. Add oysters and potatoes, simmer until the oysters are fully cooked (approximately 2 to 3 minutes). Stir in creme fraiche, season with salt and pepper, then remove the saucepan from heat and add tarragon. Serve the dish with Winter Green Salad and Green Apple Vinaigrette.
4. In a large bowl, mix greens, celery, apples, and cheese together. In a separate bowl, whisk together both types of vinegar with shallot. Gradually whisk in the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Dress the salad ingredients with some of the prepared vinaigrette.
