- 1 pound shallots, peeled and cut in 1/8-inch dice
- 3 cups dry red wine
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Lots of freshly ground pepper
- Combine the shallots, wine, and vinegar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until all the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Watch carefully toward the end of the boiling time to be sure the shallots don’t burn. Stir in the olive oil and season with plenty of freshly ground pepper. The shallots will keep, covered, for 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
