BALSAMIC-ROASTED SHALLOT SAUCE
This sauce is excellent poured over any kind of roasted meats, or even pasta. It's rather rich, but delicious. To save time, you may skip roasting the shallots and simply saute them, but the roasting enhances the flavor.

- Pour on the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to mix well.

Tips:
- Choose the right shallots: Select firm, unblemished shallots with no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Trim the shallots properly: Trim the root end and the top of the shallots, leaving about 1 inch of the stem intact. This will help to keep the shallots intact during roasting.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a good quality olive oil.
- Roast the shallots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the shallots and give them a delicious flavor.
- Keep an eye on the shallots while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so it's important to check on them regularly and remove them from the oven when they are tender and browned.
- Use a variety of olives: This will add different flavors and textures to the dish. Kalamata olives, black olives, and green olives are all good choices.
- Add the balsamic vinegar at the end: This will help to preserve the flavor of the vinegar and prevent it from burning.
Conclusion:
Roasted shallots with olives and bay balsamic is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your shallots sweet, savory, or tangy, this recipe has something for everyone.
