The shallot can be used whole or finely chopped, but they are difficult to peel where a large quantity is required. |
 |
Prepare with a small office or turning knife. Remove the roots and stem, peel to remove the outer skin and use as required. |
| They can be used as a shredded or finely chopped addition to salads and hors d'oeuvre preparations. |
| The shallot is generally used as a flavouring agent for a sauce, soup or main dish. |
| It can also be cooked and served as a vegetable but this is not usual. |
