My mother cooked dinner for us last night and served these over cavatelli with strips of roasted chicken. It was fabulous! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
12 small shallots, peeled, leaving stem ends intact and halved lengthwise |
1 teaspoon grated orange zest |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons light brown sugar |
coarse salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the oil.
2. Add the shallots; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
3. Add in 1 3/4 cups water, the orange zest and juice, vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil; cook over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, the shallots are tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife tip, and the remaining liquid is syrupy (35-40 minutes).
5. You may need to increase the heat to high if the shallots are tender but not yet glazed. Serve immediately.
