Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter 

3 shallots, peeled and diced 

2 teaspoons sugar 

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 

2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

Preparation

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until shallots are caramelized and tender but still retain some crunch, about 10 minutes; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine mustard and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until combined; stir in shallots.
