I never used to buy them. Then some years ago I ordered some products from
Omaha steaks and there was a recipe for Steak Dianne. It called for
shallots, so I bought some to make it. My husband ate the steaks, but
didn't rave about them so I never bought them or shallots again.

But recently I have gotten shallots many times in my PCA box. Once, I
chopped them and put them in a vegetable soup. It was nice. I have used
them raw in salads. Also nice. Then the other night I made some nachos for
myself because I didn't like the food I made for Angela and my husband. I
would normally put green onions on nachos or some chopped white onion if I
didn't have green. The only onion I had was a yellow one. It was huge and
I didn't feel like cutting it up. So I chopped up a shallot. It was very
good on the nachos. Very sweet.

I've gotten to where I prefer white onions for most things. I put them in
almost everything. Can I substitute the shallots to use them up?

shallots are a sweet onion garlic flavore so use em anywhere youd like that
flavor.

I did read that but to me they don't taste like garlic. I can't stand
garlic.

I put them in anything where you might use onions. Scrambld eggs, omeletts,
frittatasd, quiche, salads - especially bean salad. Also the things you have
already mentioned. Fried rice, chinese food..

I had a piece in the fridge that needed using or losing. I minced it and
sauteed it in sweet butter and used it with some gently steamed haricot
vertes (skinny little green beans) It was very tasty and low carb.

I didn't know those were in season. I will have to look for them. We like
to eat them raw.

i love shallots and butter over broccoli or spinach.

one of the best things i make is fry a couple slices bacon and cook the
shallots in the bacon fat and crumble the bacon and serve that warm over raw
spinach..yum!

Hmmm... I used to put white onion in mac and cheese when I made it. I no
longer make it because of the food allergies, but I don't think that kind of
mac and cheese would appeal to a kid. Angela loves green onions but is not
so fond of other kinds.

if you liked white onion in then youd love shallots in it.

oh and very very finely diced into mashed potatos is yummy too.

i like garlic mashed potato..well faux ones since i use cauli..but i like
shallots better in em.
