Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium, swirling until foaming subsides. Arrange shallots in a single layer in skillet, flat or cut side down where possible. Season well with salt and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown underneath, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until deep golden brown on the other side, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and 1 cup water, then add thyme sprigs, chiles, and sugar and swirl skillet to combine. Bring liquid to a boil; reduce heat so liquid is at a simmer. Transfer skillet to oven and roast shallots, turning halfway through, until sauce is reduced to a glaze and a paring knife easily slides through centers, 35-40 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Spoon shallots and glaze into a serving dish and top with thyme leaves.
- Do Ahead
- Shallots can be cooked 2 days ahead. Gently reheat in a large saucepan (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals) with a little water to loosen up glaze.

Steps:
- Cook the shallots in a medium saucepan of boiling water for about 5 minutes to loosen the skins. Let cool slightly, then peel them.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the shallots and cook over moderately high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook, shaking the skillet and turning the shallots, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer.
- Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the tamarind with the sugar, add the boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the tamarind mixture over the shallots and stir well. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the shallots are soft, about 25 minutes. Add water as needed to keep the shallots from drying out.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a plate. Cook the sauce over high heat until reduced to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Return the shallots to the skillet and toss to coat in the glaze. Season with salt and pepper and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve cold.
- Note: Tamarind concentrate is available at Asian markets or sometimes in the ethnic isle of the grocery store.

Steps:
- Make sure all the shallots fit in a single layer in a large skillet, then pour in a cup of chicken stock, ½ cup dry white wine, 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, 1 Tbsp. sugar, ½ tsp. kosher salt, and a few cranks of black pepper (white pepper if you want to be fancy). The liquid should mostly cover the shallots, but it's okay if they're not fully submerged. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook the shallots uncovered, shaking the skillet occasionally, until they're completely tender and nearly collapsed. This only takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Raise the heat to medium and cook shallots, shaking to turn, until they start to brown all over and are coated in a thick syrup, then stir another tablespoon of butter until melted. You really want to serve them hot, so don't try to make them in advance.
Tips:
- Choose shallots that are firm and have no signs of bruising or sprouting.
- Peel the shallots thinly to avoid wasting any of the vegetable.
- Slice the shallots evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the shallots from sticking.
- Cook the shallots over medium heat until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to the shallots and stir to coat.
- Continue cooking the shallots until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
- Season the shallots with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the shallots immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Glazed shallots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be used to elevate a variety of dishes. They are perfect for roasted chicken or fish, grilled vegetables, or even a simple salad. The shallots can also be used as a condiment or topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos. With their sweet and tangy flavor, glazed shallots are sure to please everyone at the table.
