Caramelized Shallot Popovers Recipes

Steps:

• Peel shallots and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices.
• Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter and shallots. Sprinkle with sugar and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook shallots until they begin to brown evenly, then turn heat down to low and continue to cook until very soft, about 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel the papery skin off the shallots, being careful to leave them whole as whole as possible.
• Put the butter into a saute pan over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Add the shallots, shaking the pan to coat them with butter, and brown on all sides until nicely caramelized to a rich, golden brown color. This will take about 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar, add the salt, pepper, and stock, and bring to a boil. Pour the contents of the saute pan into a casserole or baking dish. Place into the oven for 20 minutes.
• Check after 10 minutes to stir the contents of the dish and to ensure that the liquid has not evaporated. If it has, add several tablespoons of water to keep the dish moist until the shallots have cooked completely.
• After the shallots have roasted for 20 minutes, the liquid will have evaporated and the shallots should be caramelized to a rich dark golden brown color and should be tender when pierced with a knife.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the garnish:.
• In a skillet, heat the oil on medium heat and cook the shallots until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the popovers:.
• Place 6 ramekins on a baking tray and put a spoonful of duck fat into each ramekin. Place the tray in the oven and let warm for about 5 minutes so that the fat melts, but doesn't burn.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour and salt in a bowl. In a saucepan, heat the milk on low heat for about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they get very frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add the hot milk and continue to whisk. Stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture stirring the batter just until mixed. Do not over beat.
• Take the pan out of the oven and pour the batter into each ramekin, about three quarters full. Divide the caramelized shallot mixture on top of each popover and cover with rosemary, grated Cheddar and freshly ground pepper. Bake in the oven until they start to look crusty and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes. Make a small incision in each popover 5 minutes before the time is up to release the steam and dry the inside of the popovers. The popovers will be puffy, light, and golden brown.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 12-inch ovenproof saute pan, add the shallots and sugar, and toss to coat. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the shallots start to brown. Add the vinegar, salt, and pepper and toss well.
• Place the saute pan in the oven and roast for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the shallots, until they are tender. Season to taste, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Generously grease aluminum popover pans or custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, thyme, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a heavy-based saucepan, heat the butter with the sugar until the sugar has melted.
• Add the shallots and mix well.
• Add the stock and wine, bring to the boil, reduce the heat to very low, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes over a low heat, stirring now and then.
• Uncover the pan and simmer for a further 10 minutes until the shallots are tender and glazed.
• For Vegetarian use only the vegetable stock.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a 12 inch ovenproof skillet melt the butter.
• Add the shallots and sugar, tossing to coat.
• Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shallots start to brown.
• Add the vinegar, salt and pepper and toss well.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the shallots, until they are tender.
• Season to taste, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook shallots over a high heat for 5 mins. When they are golden, drain off and throw away the oil. Add the butter, bay and thyme and toss with seasoning. Cook for 5-8 mins, stirring so that the butter doesn't burn.
• Pour over the stock and cook until the shallots are tender and the sauce is reduced and sticky.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium high. Add shallots and thinly sliced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots have become totally softened and caramelized with golden-brown fried edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add red-pepper flakes and anchovies. (No need to chop the anchovies; they will dissolve on their own.) Stir to melt the anchovies into the shallots, about 2 minutes.
• Add tomato paste and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent any scorching, until the tomato paste has started to cook in the oil a bit, caramelizing at the edges and going from bright red to a deeper brick red color, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer about half the mixture to a resealable container, leaving the rest behind. (These are your leftovers to be used elsewhere: in another batch of pasta or smeared onto roasted vegetables, spooned over fried eggs or spread underneath crispy chicken thighs.)
• To serve, cook pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until very al dente (perhaps more al dente than usual). Transfer to Dutch oven with remaining shallot mixture (or a skillet if you are using the leftover portion) and 1 cup pasta water. Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the skillet to coat each piece of pasta, using a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any bits on the bottom, until pasta is thick and sauce has reduced and is sticky, but not saucy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine parsley and finely chopped garlic clove, and season with flaky salt and pepper. Divide pasta among bowls, or transfer to one large serving bowl, and top with parsley mixture and a bit more red-pepper flakes, if you like.
