Shallots galore

    Hi,

    I have 3 bags of shallots, that I got for 50p, and I want to use them for something interesting, rather than just in place of onions in meals.

    I wondered if anyone had any good recipes that they would be willing to share? I have most store cupboard ingredients. Most of the relish recipes I've already googled only seem to be stored for only a week or so.

    And I really prefer recipes that are recommended by people because you know that they're good then!

    Many thanks! :)

    I love shallots in casseroles, used in place of onions - either left whole or cut in half if they're big so you get nice big mouthfuls of shallot-y loveliness - I know you've said that's not what you want to do but I love them like that!

    A recipe I've been wanting to try for ages (and would be making now if I had your shallots ;)) is shallot tarte tatin, like this one.

    Hmm... I think that shallot for now... (Sorry. :o)
    Back after a very long break!
