Shallot and Garlic Tarte Tatin With Parmesan Pastry, A savoury version of the classic apple tarte tatin: a visually attractive dish that will be particularly appealing to those who love onions and garlic The shallots are caramelized in butter, sugar and balsamic vinegar before being baked beneath a layer of parmesan pastry, then inverted onto a serving platter so that the shallots are visible in all their golden glory on a pastry base Adapted from English chef Brian Glovers The Onion Cookbook: cooking with onions, garlic, leeks, spring onions, shallots and chives The cooking time specified does not include time needed for chilling or cooling , what a terrific side dish! lots of flavor I have to admit i did not do the upside down part either, but just an open faced tart
