Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 450g (1 lb) shallots
- 25g (1 oz) butter
- 15ml (1 tbsp) honey
- 15ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- 15ml (1 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Put the shallots in a bowl, add cold water to cover and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Drain and peel away the skins, then slice in half lengthwise.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / 400°F / gas mark 6.
- Tip the shallots into an ovenproof frying pan and add just enough cool water to cover. Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Drain well and return the shallots to the pan.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir until the shallots are well coated with the glaze.
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the shallots are golden and the liquid is reduced and syrupy.
- Serve as a side dish. Enjoy!
Notes
- This side-dish is very versatile and will go well with almost anything, especially grilled meat and fish.
- The sauce is seriously moreish so if you really liked it the first time, why not double the sauce ingredients while using the same amount of onions?
- Keep a close eye to the shallots when they go in the oven. Due to the sauce’s high sugar content, it can burn easily.
