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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

I've made these at least 15 times, and they are always a hit.  The last time I made this I had really large shallots, so I halved them carefully through the root and was careful handling them.  It worked beautifully; they stayed together.  Thanks, Ina.  They add that just-something-extra to the main course flank steak roulade and asparagas at a dinner party.  Served shrimp bisque before, salade vert and chesse afterwards, with Giada's chocolate and cherry jam tart for dessert.  A great evening.
