1 Liter Water
7 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
⅓ Cup White Miso Paste Make sure it is gluten free if you are on a gluten free diet
8 Large Shallots

Set oven to 500°F
Cut your shallots: Slice the shallots in half and peel the papery skin off. Place in a baking dish (I use my 9×13 casserole dish), place the shallots in the baking dish in a single layer.
Warm water: Warm the water, and melt the butter in the microwave. In a medium bowl, mix the water and the melted butter together and add the miso paste to the water. Make sure everything is broken down in the water and then pour the water over the shallots. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, At the 30 minute mark, remove the aluminum foil. Place back into the oven and bake for another 45-50 minutes. Every 10-15 minutes, baste the shallots (meaning scoop up some of the liquid and drizzle it over the shallots.) If by the end of the time you feel that there is still too much liquid, bake for another 10 minutes. You want a gravy consistency by the end and if you do not have that, keep baking.
