Shallots - 1 kg

A shallot is not as sharp as standard onions, boasting soft, beautiful notes and a bit of sweetness, especially when cooked. Their milder quality makes them easier to eat than other onions, and their subtle flavour doesn't as easily overpower other flavours in a dish.

To prolong the life of your shallots, store in a cool, dark, dry spot and keep away from other fruit and vegetables. Or you could chop or slice the shallots and freeze for up to three months.
