CARAMELIZED SHALLOT PASTA



Caramelized Shallot Pasta image

This pasta is all about the shallots, cooked down in a bath of olive oil to a jammy, caramelized paste. Tomato paste is there for tanginess, and anchovies for saltiness, but they serve more as background flavors to the sweetness of the shallot. This recipe makes enough caramelized shallot mixture for a double batch of pasta, or simply keep it refrigerated to spoon over fried eggs, or to serve underneath crispy chicken thighs or over roasted root vegetables like carrots or sweet potatoes.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil
6 large shallots, very thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves, 4 thinly sliced, 1 finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 (2-ounce) can anchovy fillets (about 12), drained
1 (4.5-ounce) tube or (6-ounce) can of tomato paste (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup)
10 ounces pasta
1 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
Flaky sea salt

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.

EASY CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS RECIPE | SIP BITE GO



Easy Caramelized Shallots Recipe | Sip Bite Go image

See how to caramelize shallots for pasta, pizza, to use as a gourmet topping for burgers, sandwiches, you name it!

Provided by Jenna Passaro

Categories     side

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 medium shallots (diced or sliced thin (see how-to instructions below))
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt (sea salt or kosher salt)

Steps:

  • Cut both ends off shallot. Slice shallot in half lengthwise.
  • Peel off the outer paper layer of shallot (to make it easy, I usually peel off the first ring of shallot, too.)
  • Slice shallot in ½" segments, the long way.
  • Turn sliced shallots and dice to ½" segments the other way.
  • Set a medium or large pan on the stove to medium high heat. Use a cast iron skillet if you have it, or go rogue like me and use a nonstick pan (it works just fine for me!). Add oil and diced or sliced shallots to the pan. Leave them, without stirring, for a few minutes.
  • Once oil begins bubbling and shallots begin browning and sizzling in the pan, add salt.
  • Reduce heat to medium and regularly stir for 5-10 minutes, until shallots caramelize to your desired level. I like mine golden brown, but always remove them before they get too brown and crispy. They'll drastically reduce in size as they cook.
  • Remove caramelized shallots from the pan and transfer to a serving bowl. Rest until cool and enjoy!
