Ingredients

  • 360 ml of red wine
  • 60 g of butter
  • 450 g of shallots, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp of caster sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 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. Step 4

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