Not sure what happened, but somehow I lost a day and thought I had 2 Sundays in a row!! My entries for the letter S are Salad & Shallots. This salad photo I took in January. Pat and I eat a lot of salad...of course, we put too much dressing on this "diet food". ;>( Now shallots were new to me. I got a yummy recipe for shallots from watching Martha Stewart one day last March. I teamed the completed shallots with roasted pork loin and buttered basil pasta. Patrick declared it a success! Here is the recipe that I got from Martha Stewart.com :
Ingredients
Serves 4
10 large or 15 small shallots
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
1-Peel shallots and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. (I peeled, but did not cut into slices.)
2-Heat oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter and shallots. Sprinkle with sugar and add salt and pepper to taste.
3-Cook shallots until they begin to brown evenly, then turn heat down to low and continue to cook until very soft, about 10 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
Sorry for posting this so late. Hope you all had a good Memorial Day. Patrick and I attended our town's parade and pulled weeds in the rain!! For more A to Z fun please visit Jen at http://www.unglazed.blogspot.com/.
