  1. Peel and chop the onion very finely. Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat then saute the onion for 5-6 minutes until it is soft. Peel the ginger and grate it, or chop it very finely, and peel and crush the garlic, then add them both to the softened onion and cook for another minute or two. Peel, core and chop the apple into very small pieces then add that too.
