Caramelized Shallots
/Summary: These are divine: great on cheese, bread, grilled meat, sandwiches, pretty much anything. This is Nancy Silverton's (of Mozza restaurant) recipe and is part of a larger dish: Burrata with Bacon, Escarole and Caramelized Shallots, that was published in the NYTimes dining section on 10/26/11. That dish is time-consuming but delicious.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1⅓ cups thinly sliced shallots
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
In a large saute pan (I prefer not to use nonstick), heat the oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the shallots and cook, stirring only as necessary, until brown around the edges and soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the vinegar and stir until the bottom of the pan is dry, about 6 minutes.
Use or keep covered in the fridge for several weeks.
