RICE WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS FROM MELISSA D'ARABIAN
This was a recipe shown on "Ten Dollar Meals". Looked to so simple but tasty, so posting for safe keeping. I made this and liked it made the way it was but felt it could be a little more flavorful. Next time I am going to try using beef stock and add more seasoning to it while it is cooking. Definitely use several shallots and probably add more butter to saute them in the beginning.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the papery skin off the shallots, being careful to leave them whole as whole as possible.
- Put the butter into a saute pan over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Add the shallots, shaking the pan to coat them with butter, and brown on all sides until nicely caramelized to a rich, golden brown color. This will take about 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar, add the salt, pepper, and stock, and bring to a boil. Pour the contents of the saute pan into a casserole or baking dish. Place into the oven for 20 minutes.
- Check after 10 minutes to stir the contents of the dish and to ensure that the liquid has not evaporated. If it has, add several tablespoons of water to keep the dish moist until the shallots have cooked completely.
- After the shallots have roasted for 20 minutes, the liquid will have evaporated and the shallots should be caramelized to a rich dark golden brown color and should be tender when pierced with a knife.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish. Look for shallots that are firm and have no signs of bruising or sprouting. Use a good quality rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice.
- Caramelize the shallots slowly: This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be patient and don't rush the process.
- Use a good quality broth: This will also add flavor to the dish. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you are using water, you may want to add a little bit of salt or bouillon cubes to give it more flavor.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions: This will ensure that it is cooked properly.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains and make it light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Rice with caramelized shallots is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish a hit at your next gathering.
