Glazed Shallots

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound small shallots (about 12), peeled (stem ends left intact), halved lengthwise if large
1 3/4 cups water
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus 1/2 cup juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/2 cup apple-cider vinegar
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add the water, orange zest and juice, vinegar, and brown sugar; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until shallots are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp 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 hot.
