Caramelized Shallots image

I forget that shallots even exist. I always reach for an onion instead. In the name of trying something different, I caramelized some shallots to top a veggie burger. These were sweet and tangy with a hint of balsamic vinegar. I used oil instead of butter to lighten up the recipe.
