Ingredients
300g pack Asda Extra Special Echalion Shallots
2 tbsp Olive Oil
30g Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Thyme Leaves
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
Method
1
Trim the root off the shallots but keep it attached. Halve the shallots lengthways and peel.
2
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season the shallots and place cut-side down into the pan. Cook, pressing the shallots down occasionally, until well-browned (about 3–4 mins).
3
Add the butter, thyme leaves, balsamic and 4 tbsp water. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid (or foil) and cook over low heat for about 3–5 mins, until the shallots are really tender. Uncover, flip the shallots and return to medium-high heat, reducing the liquid until you have a syrupy, coating consistency. Keep warm over a low heat until ready to serve.
