Shallots

Small & Sweet

Shallots are smaller than their cousin the onion and they have a sweeter, milder taste. Virtually all of them in the US are imported from France.

Shallot Recipes

Rachel Ray's Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots

3 slices chopped bacon (use turkey bacon to cut the fat and calories)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1 1/2 lbs small Brussels sprouts, trimmed but left whole
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth

Brown the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Using the same pan, add the olive oil and cook the shallots for 1 or 2 minutes. When the shallots start to get tender, add the Brussels sprouts and cook them for 2 or 3 minutes. Next, add the broth and bring it to a boil, reduce heat, and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Top each bowl with a bit of the crisped bacon.

Glazed Shallots

20 shallots, whole & peeled
2 Tbsp margarine
1 tablespoon sugar
Water to cover
salt and pepper, to taste

In a saucepan, melt the margarine. Add the shallots and sprinkle the sugar over them. Add enough water to just barely cover the shallots and then cook it all down until the shallots are in a nice glaze. This is a great side dish.
