How to Make Balsamic Roasted Shallot Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel 1 pound of shallots. In a baking dish, toss shallots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped.
  3. Roast for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  4. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until shallots are tender and caramelized.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  6. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add 1/2 cup dry red wine (like Burgundy or Pinot Noir) and simmer until reduced by half, about 8 minutes.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup chicken stock and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Slice the roasted shallots and add them to the sauce.
  10. Add 1 teaspoon black peppercorns and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes more.
  11. Season with salt to taste. Pour over your favorite roasted meats or pasta and enjoy!
