Madeira Glazed Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 3/4 cups water, orange zest and juice, vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, shallots are tender enough to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife, and liquid is syrupy, 35 to 40 minutes. (Raise heat to high for a few minutes if shallots are tender but not quite glazed.) Serve.

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:

• 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 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 butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in Madeira, broth and honey. Simmer until shallots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 1 hour 10 minutes. (Glazed shallots can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat, stirring often, before serving.)

Steps:

• To make the goose:
• Remove excess skin, fat and quills from goose. Carefully lower goose into large pot of boiling water. Boil 1 minute. Remove from water. Pat dry. Place on rack in large pan. Chill uncovered 2 days.
• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add goose neck; cook until brown, turning once, about 5 minutes. Add slice shallots; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups Madeira and 1 orange. Boil until reduced by 1/3, scraping up browned bits, about 3 minutes. Add broth and juice. Boil until reduced to 2 cups liquid, about 45 minutes. Strain sauce into saucepan. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill.)
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Pierce goose skin (not meat) all over with fork. Place halved shallots and remaining 3 oranges in cavity of goose. Tie leg together to hold shape. Season with salt and pepper. Place goose, breast side down, on rack in roasting pan. Roast 1 1/2 hours.
• Transfer goose to platter. Pour off fat from pan. Place goose, breast side up, on rack in pan. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F. about 1 hour 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Roast goose until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to platter.
• Pour off all fat from pan, leaving browned bits in pan. Pour 1/3 cup Madeira into pan. Gently heat pan while scraping up browned bits. Pour mixture into sauce. Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 2 tablespoons Madeira. Whisk into sauce. Boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey. Season to taste with more honey, salt and pepper.
• To make the shallots:
• Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in Madeira, broth and honey. Simmer until shallots are tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 1 hour 10 minutes. (Glazed shallots can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat, stirring often, before serving.)

Steps:

• Put oil in a deep skillet or casserole, and turn heat to medium high. When oil is hot, add chicken skin side down. Cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until skin is nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Turn, and brown other side a minute or 2.
• Spoon or pour out excess fat. Add shallots, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until they are tender and begin to brown, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Add Madeira, and cook over medium- to medium-high heat, turning chicken occasionally so it continues to brown and cook evenly. Let Madeira reduce almost to a glaze. If mixture dries out before chicken is done, add 1/2 cup water or more Madeira.
• When chicken is cooked through and sauce is shiny and thick, add butter and lemon juice or vinegar. Cook a minute, and remove chicken to a warm plate. Taste and adjust sauce's seasoning. Spoon sauce and shallots over chicken; garnish and serve.
