Gratineed Mustard Creamed Shallots

This is a great side dish for pork, steak, or chicken. I'm definitely not a mustard fan but these creamy, caramelized onions were a great side dish for me.

 

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

3 Tbsp Sherry or red cooking wine

shallots (about 1 lb)

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp flour

1/2 cup milk

1/4 Tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

 

Recipe Adapted from Epicurious

Slice shallots into rings and boil in water until tender (approximately 25-30 minutes).

 Drain shallots in a colander and melt the butter in a saucepan. Add flour gradually, being careful to stir constantly to avoid any lumps. Add remaining ingredients (except cheese) and simmer until sauce begins to thicken (8-10 minutes). Add shallots to the sauce and simmer for 5 more minutes. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and top with cheese. Broil mixture until cheese melts and mixture begins to bubble (3-5 minutes).
