Ingredients

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 pounds fresh shallots, peeled, with roots intact
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons good red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Directions

Melt the butter in a 12-inch ovenproof saute pan, add the shallots and sugar, and toss to coat. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shallots start to brown. Add the vinegar, salt, and pepper and toss well.

Place the saute pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the shallots, until they are tender. Season to taste, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

Making memories
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been serving these jewels for special meals a number of years now, and for most of that time my young niece and... nephews refused to even taste them. However, last Thanksgiving my niece, now in college, announced at the table that she had dreamed of these shallots the night before and hoped that I would always make them for us. This has become a dish that is traditional at our house for Tday - something everyone looks forward to. I feel sure it will eventually end up on my niece's holiday table. Thank you, Ina.Read more

Seriously Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

anyone who hasnt made these yet MUST try this. yes you can eat them alone but i added them to roasted carrots i made w/... olive oil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and oregano. I roasted the carrots and made the shallots seperately then added them in together at the end.. seriously one of the best things ive ever had.Read more

Better than sex
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought I would try this as a side dish and since I had quite a few shallots on hand. It was straight forward, easy and... absolutely fabulous. Just the right combination of butter, sugar and vinegar. I did serve this as a side dish and then as a base for a tart/ quiche. They are also fabulous layered into a sandwich. Heaven in a bite!Read more

Perfect!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for my big family on Christmas Eve with a beef rib roast. They were great with the meat, and by themselves too.... My family was fighting over who got the last ones at the table, make more than 2lbs for 6 people! My uncle is still talking about them. I used white wine vinegar because that's what I had, and i threw a little thyme in there. They were beautiful, and I baked them off ahead of time and just popped them in the oven to reheat when the meat was resting, so easy, soooo good. Read more
