Caramelized shallots

Ingredients:

• 80 g unsalted butter
• 0.9 kg fresh shallots, peeled, do not cut off the root
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 3 tablespoons red vinegar
• 0.5 tsp coarse salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. In a large, oven-safe 12-inch skillet, melt the butter, add the shallots and sugar, and stir. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shallots begin to darken. Add the vinegar, salt, and black pepper and stir well.
3. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the onions, until soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
