How to Use Shallots

RE: How to Use Shallots By ThriftyFun (3117) Profile Blog! Contact Hi, Use shallots anywhere you would use onions. They can be sauteed for the best taste. They are wonderful. Here's a site that explains about them. http://www.magicvalleygrowers.com/shallots/ They do have a bit of a garlicky taste as well as onion.

I dice them really small and use in sauces for steak or roast. I also put in salad if I have not purple onions. They have such a sweet mild flavor, sort of onion and mild garlic mixed together. I wish I could grow them since they are expensive compared to regular onions. But so tasty and now good for me too.

I use them like a regular onion,the flavor is not as strong as a regular onion, and being smaller they take more. but I really like them and they are great in salads and I use them anywhere I use a regular onion.

Sometimes, for some reason here in Australia anyway, green onions are called shallots but they are not. If you mean the ones that look kinda like garlic and are a littl purplish/pinkish then I can tell you my Mum says in SriLanka (where my parents are from origianlly) they are the only onions people used for sauteeing when making curries and cooking of any kind. The large ones we normally use, they only use in salads. So you could use them in any cookiing - of course especially curries :) Our Thai friend uses them alot in salads usually with a Thai dressing, and also fried crisp and sprinkled on top of rice and noodle dishes. Hope this helps. Posted on 08/28/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
