| Shallots
are small brown onions with papery brownish yellow skins. They have a delicate
yet garlicy flavor. Because of their delicate and sweet flavor, shallots are a
very good choice for many light sauces. |

| Look
for shallots that are plump and sprout free. They are sold in mesh bags or in
bulk. They should be stored like onions in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
They will keep about a month if stored properly. | |
