Prepare Ahead

The shallots can be prepared a few hours in advance, and gently reheated before serving.


Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a wide, shallow saucepan and add 30g (1oz) butter and the shallots. Cook over medium heat until golden, turning occasionally.


  2. 2

    Add the wine, vinegar, sugar, salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes, or until tender.


  3. 3

    Transfer the shallots to a serving bowl, using a slotted spoon. Allow the liquid in the pan to bubble over a high heat until syrupy, then whisk in the remaining butter.


  4. 4

    Discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf, and pour the sauce over the shallots. Serve immediately.
