Glazed Shallots with Chile and Thyme image

Choose shallots that are all about the same size so that they soften evenly as they cook. And if spicy is not your thing, skip the Fresno chiles.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 1/2 lb. medium shallots, peeled, halved if large
Kosher salt
3 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 large sprigs thyme, plus 1 tsp. thyme leaves for serving
2 red Fresno chiles, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
1 Tbsp. sugar

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.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The shallots were a bit bland and the glaze was too thick.

I found this recipe to be a bit time-consuming. It took me longer than 30 minutes to make the shallots.

These shallots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory glaze.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The shallots are always perfectly caramelized and the sauce is so flavorful. It's a great dish to serve as an appetizer or side dish.
