Gorgeous side dish! I served it with some baked chicken breasts. I couldn't believe how tasty these shallots were. Thanks! -
Wonderful. I used Splenda in place of sugar. Served this with a salad and broccoli, alongside http://www.recipezaar.com/140428. -
I loved it! I can think of many dishes to pair this with. I think it is great as part of a hot meal, but I think it could be equally good cold!
