Shallots

Onions, garlic, and shallots are simply bursting with sugar, so there’s no need to add any when caramelizing them. Simply cook very gently in a skillet with a little oil and butter, or alongside a piece of meat roasted in the oven. Even so, a spoonful of sugar added while they’re cooking will give them an irresistibly crunchy coating! (caramelized onion ideas.)
