Equipment
- Baking dish
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Wooden spoon
- Oven mitts
- Kitchen Time
Ingredients
- 2 lbs FRESH SHALLOTS
- 2 tbsp OLIVE OIL
- 2 tbsp UNSALTED BUTTER
- 2 tbsp GRANULATED SUGAR
- 2 tbsp RED WINE VINEGAR
- 1 tsp SEA SALT
- 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER
- 1 tbsp FRESH PARSLEY
Instructions
Heat the Oven
- Turn your oven on to 400 degrees right now. This high heat helps the sugar turn into caramel. Your kitchen will start to smell very sweet soon.
Prep the Shallots
- Peel the outer skin off all of your shallots. Trim the root ends but keep the shallots whole. If they are very large, cut them in half.
Toss with Oil
- Put the peeled shallots into a large mixing bowl. Pour the olive oil and melted butter over them. Toss them until every shallot is well coated.
Add the Seasoning
- Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and black pepper on top. Pour in the red wine vinegar and toss again. The vinegar helps cut through the heavy sugar sweetness.
Arrange in Dish
- Place the shallots in a single layer in the dish. Do not overlap them or they will just steam. You want them to roast and get very dark.
Roast and Stir
- Put the dish into the hot oven for thirty minutes. Stir them once halfway through the total cooking time. They should be very tender and dark golden brown.
Notes
➜ Peel shallots easily by soaking in warm water first.
➜ Do not skip the vinegar for the best balance.
➜ Use a heavy baking dish for even heat distribution.
➜ Make sure the shallots are mostly the same size.
➜ Roast until they are very soft when poked.
➜ Serve them warm for the best buttery texture.
