When shallots are cooked low and slow, they become meltingly soft and sweet. Sherry vinegar, with its hint of sweetness in the tang, makes a great match. Toss the dressing with a salad of baby spinach, mushrooms, and toasted hazelnuts. Or try it with sliced grilled steak plus mixed lettuces, arugula, chickpeas, and roasted red peppers.
