Pickled Shallots
The red wine and red wine vinegar turns these shallots a deep purple and the chili flakes and black pepper lend them a little heat. Try them sliced on tacos, cheddar cheese sandwiches (grilled or not) or grilled meats.
10 medium shallots (or equivalent in other sizes, about ½ lb)
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup red wine
1 Tbsp black peppercorns
½ Tbsp mustard seeds
1 tsp red chili flakes
¼ cup brown sugar
4 tsp fine sea salt
Heat all ingredients other than the shallots in a small saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Peel the shallots, add them to the brine and boil for 5 minutes (a few minutes longer if your shallots are on the larger side). Let cool and transfer both the shallots and the brine to a glass or plastic container and cover tightly. They will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
