14 Oz. Premium Shallots
Shallots are extensively cultivated and much used in cookery, in addition to being pickled. Finely sliced deep-fried shallots are used as a condiment in Asian cuisine.
Shallots are particularly high in anti-cancer compounds
Usage Tips
Shallots make an excellent addition to salad dressing, sauces and pasta dishes, and require little cooking time.
Shallots make a nice onion-substitute, particularly when served raw where they can showcase their mild sweetness. Additional perks include their greater digestibility and lesser breath impact than the traditional onion.
When preparing shallots, also prepare to get a little weepy over it. As with other onions, the chemicals released by sliced raw shallots can irritate the eyes.
Tips for peeling, mincing or chopping:
Use a paring knife to remove the skin.
Slice off a thin disk from one of the sides, then set the shallot down on the cutting board, using the now-flat side as a base.
Cut the shallot horizontally, leaving the root intact. Then cut the slices crosswise
