Zinfandel Glazed Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet just large enough to hold the shallots in a single layer, combine the shallots, wine, stock, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid evaporates and the shallots are very tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Raise heat to medium high and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the shallots begin to brown and are coated with a thick syrup. Remove from heat and add the final tablespoon of butter, shaking the pan until it is melted and incorporated. Serve immediately.

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:

• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over low heat. Add trimmed shallots. Cover and cook until shallots are golden and beginning to soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add red wine and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Simmer mixture without stirring until liquid is reduced to glaze consistency, swirling skillet occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Add apple juice to skillet and continue to simmer until shallots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze consistency, stirring occasionally, about 16 minutes. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. (Glazed shallots can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Rewarm glazed shallots over low heat before serving.)

Steps:

• Bring milk to simmer in small saucepan. Transfer to processor. Add bread and process until blended. Add egg, goat cheese, garlic and mustard. Process just until blended. With processor running, gradually add oil and lemon juice; process until smooth. Transfer sauce to medium saucepan. Season to taste with sugar, white pepper and salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
• Cut each steak in half horizontally. Using meat mallet, pound each piece on work surface to 1/3-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Coat with flour, shaking off excess. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over high heat. Sauté beef in batches until brown, adding more butter as necessary, about 1 minute per side. Transfer beef to platter. Add wine to skillet; bring to boil. Add beef; turn to coat. Remove from heat.
• Bring goat cheese sauce to simmer. Stir in chives. Spoon some of sauce onto each of 6 plates. Place 2 beef scallops atop sauce on each plate. Divide shallots and any glaze among plates. Spoon spaetzle alongside and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except mayonnaise in blender; blend until onions and garlic are minced. Add mayonnaise and blend until smooth. Refrigerate until cold. Whisk dressing before using.

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:

• Put the wine in a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the honey, and let cool slightly. Whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Peel the shallots.
• Melt 2 ounces margarine in heavy pot.
• Add the whole shallots.
• Sprinkle with sugar.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Fill pot with water just to cover shallots and cook over a medium-high heat until the water has completely evaporated, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and sauté until mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Add Zinfandel, Port, and broth. Boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon thinly, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place steak between sheets of waxed paper. Using mallet or rolling pin, pound steak to 1/2-inch thickness. Coat both sides of steak with 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in another heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to work surface; do not clean skillet. Add mushrooom sauce to skillet; bring to simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
• Thinly slice steak; transfer to platter. Spoon mushroom sauce over and serve.
