Hi
Use them instead of onions.
For a salad slice shallots, add a little red wine vinegar and salt. Leave for about 15 mins. Taste like pickled onions.Sealed Pot Challenge No 089-Finally got a signature.:rotfl::j0 -
Pickled shallots are lovely, nicer than pickling onions. They also are perfect whole in any casserole/stew and have a better flavour when fried than regular onions.Truth always poses doubts & questions. Only lies are 100% believable, because they don't need to justify reality. - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Labyrinth of the Spirits0

I use them in stews & casseroles.Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0

Hi oddies,
If I find them reduced I often use them in place of onions. These threads may help:
