Instructions

  1. Peel the shallots.
  2. Heat the olive oil and fry the shallots in it. Add the sugar and stir-fry until it caramelizes. Pour red wine, fruit vinegar and port wine over the shallots. Add salt, bay leaves and chili peppers and simmer for about 10 minutes. The shallots must not be too soft!
  3. Then fill into clean twist-off glasses - this amount is enough for 2 glasses of 0.5 l each. Close tightly and turn upside down for approx. 1 hour.
  4. The shallots should steep for about 2 weeks before they are eaten.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
