Glazed Shallots With Chile And Thyme Recipes

GLAZED SHALLOTS WITH CHILE AND THYME

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.

SOUR-CHERRY THYME GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in refrigerator until needed. Making glaze a day in advance allows flavors to bloom and thickens glaze, which makes it easier to apply.

GLAZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 3/4 cups water, orange zest and juice, vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, shallots are tender enough to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife, and liquid is syrupy, 35 to 40 minutes. (Raise heat to high for a few minutes if shallots are tender but not quite glazed.) Serve.

GLAZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a skillet just large enough to hold the shallots in a single layer, combine the shallots, wine, stock, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid evaporates and the shallots are very tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Raise heat to medium high and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the shallots begin to brown and are coated with a thick syrup. Remove from heat and add the final tablespoon of butter, shaking the pan until it is melted and incorporated. Serve immediately.
