Suggestion
Once the shallots have been slowly cooked, they make a good accompaniment to roasted meat. 

1. Peel the shallots.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet and sauté the shallots. Sprinkle with salt and sugar and cover with water. Cook over low heat until the water has completely evaporated, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. 
3. Purée. 
4. Blend in 150 ml (10 tbsp.) cream, 3 egg yolks, the bacon bits or finely diced cooked meat, salt and pepper. 
5. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and cook for 15 minutes at 180° C (350° F).
