CARAMELISED SHALLOTS

1 oz butter
shallots
1 large tsp sugar

Drop the shallots into boiling water for a few seconds, this makes
them easier to peel.  Peel them.  Melt the butter in a small
saucepan.  Add shallots and sprinkle with sugar, season with salt
and pepper then pour over enough cold water to just cover shallots.

Bring to boil and cook over a low to medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated and the shallots
are covered with a sticky golden glaze.

Serve with grilled or barbecued steak.
