Sweet-and-Sour Glazed Shallots
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shallots, peeled
- 3/4 cup tawny port
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon packed golden-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan, combine the shallots, port, stock, sugar, vinegar and butter. Set over medium heat and bring to a brisk simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring once or twice, until the shallots are almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add the thyme and a generous grinding of pepper and cook, stirring once or twice, until the liquid is reduced to a saucy glaze that lightly coats the shallots, another 5 to 7 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, to taste. Serve hot
